Some Firebirds & 335s ready to go!

Aleks Syntek on a 335! Here at Gibson, we love Aleks Syntek. But what we REALLY LOVE is when he drops that “other guitar” that he USUALLY plays for a GIBSON ES335 like he did last week for the Latin Grammys in Las Vegas. KILLER SHOW if you caught it! Yes… the DARKSIDE is strong… he will be back!! lol

Hello out there! I wanted to share with you guys this great piece Gibson.com did with one of my good friends Benjamin Hazlett who is currently rocking out with Latin POP Star Paulina Rubio. For the entire story go to

Benjamin Hazlett is a Los Angeles-based touring/session guitarist and producer. Beginning his career with the band Avion, Hazlett has worked and toured with artists including Meredith Brooks, Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly) and two-time Grammy winner Colbie Caillat. Since the fall of 2009, Hazlett has been touring with Latin pop superstar Paulina Rubio, playing in the U.S., Central and South America, the Caribbean and Spain.

When he’s not trotting the globe, Hazlett is a sought-after session guitarist who also has performed on many feature film movie scores. You can hear his guitar playing in recent trailers for summer movies The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and Inception.

Hazlett’s ability to tune into the intricacies of sound and manipulate his boutique effects, amps and guitars into just the right blend is what captivates audiences and sets him apart from other guitarists. The musician recently took time out of his busy schedule to discuss his pre-show routine, the new album he co-produced for his wife Hope and his enduring love for Gibson 335s.
