In the 1940s and 50s, when women were consigned to managing their family homes, Mary Ford, who would have celebrated her 100th birthday in 2024, was a trailblazing music icon. An accomplished guitarist, vocalist, and actress who was one of the biggest recording artists of the early 1950s, Gibson is honoring Mary Ford with the release of the new Mary Ford Les Paul Standard. The Mary Ford Les Paul Standard in Goldtop finish is available worldwide now at authorized Gibson dealers and on www.gibson.com.
As part of the new Mary Ford Collection, Gibson is offering an Oxford Pennant, a bandanna, and a t-shirt from Nashville-based design brand imogene + willie, view the Mary Ford Collection: HERE.
“I am thrilled that Mom is receiving this recognition for her talents,” says Mary Colleen Wess (daughter of Mary Ford and Les Paul). “I wish she was still with us to enjoy this wonderful honor, which she so richly deserves. Thank you so much, Gibson!”
