The Gibson Guitar Corporation started October 11, 1902. Gibson always makes instruments under other names such as Epiphone, Kramer, Valley Arts, Tobias, Steinberger, and Kalamazoo. In 1902 Orville Gibson started his Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co, Ltd. His business started with the making of mandolins, then later on he incorporated his style into guitars with the help of Lloyd Loar.
