Music lovers now have a new destination to explore in Miami as Gibson officially opens Gibson Garage Miami in the city’s vibrant Wynwood Art District. The more than 8,000-square-foot destination brings together guitars, music, art, craftsmanship and live entertainment in an immersive experience designed for musicians, collectors, beginners and fans.
Located at 2660 NW 3rd Avenue, Gibson Garage Miami is the company’s third global retail and experience destination, following Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London. The grand opening attracted Gibson artists, musicians, community leaders and fans, with appearances by Sergio Vallín of Maná, Grace Potter, Nico Bereciartua of The Black Crowes, Gian Marco, Luis Enrique and Ivan Singh.
“Miami is a city where cultures, sounds, and stories come together, and that makes it a natural home for Gibson Garage,” said Anne Rohosy, Interim CEO of Gibson. “We want this to be much more than a place to experience our guitars. We want it to be a place where people come together around music.”
At the heart of Gibson Garage Miami is a hands-on retail experience featuring more than 500 electric and acoustic guitars, basses, amplifiers and related products from Gibson’s family of brands, including Gibson, Gibson Custom, Gibson Acoustic, Epiphone, Kramer and MESA/Boogie. Visitors can pick up and play instruments throughout the space, while also shopping exclusive apparel, accessories, gifts and Miami-inspired collaborations.
The destination also offers Gibson Custom Made to Measure, allowing customers to personalize a guitar by selecting details such as tops, neck profiles, finishes, hardware and Murphy Lab aging options. A dedicated acoustic guitar room and expansive areas for Epiphone and Kramer further showcase the company’s range.
Beyond instruments, Gibson Garage Miami is designed as a cultural destination. Its performance stage will host live performances, artist showcases, signings, album-release events, panel discussions, guitar lessons and community programs.
The location is also home to the first Gibson Gallery in the United States. Its inaugural exhibition, “Amplified: Icons of Music Through the Lens,” was created in partnership with Getty Images and features more than 30 photographs of influential musicians including Bob Marley, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Dolly Parton, Madonna, The Beatles and Guns N’ Roses.
The Wynwood location also embraces Miami’s renowned visual arts scene with murals commissioned from local artists Solano and Nate Dee.
With music, art and community at its core, Gibson Garage Miami offers visitors more than a place to shop for instruments. It creates a new space where the sounds, creativity and cultural energy of the Magic City can come together.
