1955 marked a year of great innovation in several areas of American life. The year saw the dawn of the United States space program, the release of the first of the classic V8 Chevrolets to dealerships all over the country, and the insurgence of rock and roll in jukeboxes from coast to coast, which were blasting out this new music from Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, a kid named Elvis and his guitar player Scotty Moore. Having been an innovator in the guitar industry for a full 60 years already, Gibson piled on the advancements in the mid 1950s, too, bringing one groundbreaking development after another to the market. From the seminal carved-top solidbody electric of 1952, the Les Paul, via the Tune-o-matic bridge and Alnico V pickup of 1954, to the humbucking pickup of 1957, Gibson strode from first to first throughout the decade, forever changing the face of electric guitar design.
