The Gibson guitars they imported however would soon turn into the basis for their first electric guitar designs just a short time later. By 1958 Hagstrom designed and released their first guitar, closely modeled off of the Gibson Les Paul 1957 electric guitar. The Gibson guitars were then built by Norlin the company that bought Gibson, and there were similar stories of lack of concern for materials and workmanship.
The Gibson guitars, electric and acoustic, never suffered from any of this, mostly because a guitar isn’t as adjustable as a banjo. Gibson pays more attention to the guitars, because there are millions of guitar players - the guitar is the most popular instrument in the world, but banjo sales are very piddly in comparison, even at the height of the recent boom.
Stockdale plays Gibson guitars, primarily a 1972 SG standard with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece in vintage sunburst. For the recording of the Wolfmother album he used a borrowed Gibson ES-355 through a 1960s Marshall. Stockdale also states to use a Fender Stratocaster, though he prefers the Gibson guitars. In recent times he has also started using a Hohner Blues Master Harmonica microphone for some vocals.
But the Destroyer Bass wasn’t a blatant copy of the Explorer bass; it did not have the Kalamazoo creation’s short scale or banjo-style tuners, a la Gibson’s first electric bass (the violin-shaped EB) and other Gibsons of the era. But, like its Gibson inspiration, the Ibanez does have a scimitar/banana-shaped headstock and a serial number embossed on the back of the headstock that indicates a manufacture date of August, 1977.
Heritage has also introduced several new designs, most notably the Millennium models, which employ a semi-solid body that is more solid than a traditional semi-hollow design, but chambered, and thus less solid than a typical solid body. Ibanez has a long and varied history dating back over 100 years. The company began life in Japan in 1908 originally as the Hoshino Gakki manufacturing and selling stringed instruments.
