This is the greatest tie for any musician at heart. The tie is actually shaped like a GIBSON Guitar!! It was during the early 40's that Gibson electric guitars first started to appear on the market, though it wasn't until after World War II that the electric guitar started to take hold, catching the imagination of players and the listening public. Throughout the 50's, 60's and 70's the electric guitar took center stage, bringing Gibson to the forefront with it.
