Emotional connection found in a child's initial guitar experience as Gibson debuts miniature Les Paul and SG Juniors with Loog brand
Gibson and Loog Team Up to Launch Child-Friendly Electric Guitars
In an exciting collaboration, award-winning children's guitar manufacturer Loog has partnered with iconic guitar brand Gibson to create a line of electric three-string guitars designed specifically for kids.
The new Gibson x Loog collection includes child-friendly versions of the Les Paul and SG models, priced at $229 each. These guitars are built using standard tuning, guitar strings, and micro-pickups, making the transition to six-strings easier when the time comes.
Mat Koehler, Vice President of Product at Gibson, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating that the Gibson x Loog guitars use Gibson's iconic colors and shapes along with Loog's intuitive 3-string format to inspire young players.
Loog, known for its kid-friendly guitars, aims to capture the emotional feeling of a first guitar and start a child's musical journey in a meaningful way. The design of the Les Paul and SG models might be controversial among some purists due to their child-friendly appearance, but they are designed to evoke emotional memories associated with a first guitar.
The guitars come in a choice of four colorways, including some Gibson classics, and feature Loog's signature, almost Jackson-esque headstock. They are designed to prepare kids for larger instruments while maintaining a fun and approachable style.
Accompanying tools like an activity book, learning app, flashcards, and game-like exercises aim to incentivize learning in a fun and interactive way. However, the article does not provide new information about the price of these tools or the guitars themselves.
Loog finds the experience of collaborating with Gibson to be incredible and an honor. The company believes that this collaboration will play a significant role in starting a child's musical journey in a memorable and enjoyable way.
