Gibson Partners with Searchlight Pictures for 'A Complete Unknown'

Gibson has unveiled "A Complete Unknown: The Collection,” a specially curated selection of Gibson acoustic instruments inspired by and used during the making of the film, "A Complete Unknown" (the Bob Dylan biopic to be released later this year) and soundtrack recording sessions.  

With more than 50 onscreen music performances during "A Complete Unknown," actor, Timothée Chalamet, and the film cast members had an enormous amount of material to learn. In the film, the music is a full partner in telling the story, with every classic and every chosen lyric a part of director, James Mangold's narrative fabric. 

"We were very grateful to Gibson for giving us a whole bevy of guitars,' says Nick Baxter, executive music producer, "A Complete Unknown."  

"As many Gibson acoustic guitars played a timely role in American music history our supportive mission was to carefully select the Gibson acoustics that Bob Dylan chose to play during his powerful presence in the 1960s," says Robi Johns, senior product development manager, Gibson Acoustic Guitars. "To achieve this with historical accuracy, we also recreated a few of Bob's acoustic guitars for the timeframe depicted in the movie." 

In celebration of the film's release, music fans can visit the Gibson Garage Nashville, Gibson's flagship store in downtown Nashville, from Dec. 19 through Jan. to see some of the Gibson guitars created for "A Complete Unknown" on display.
