Gibson

For many, the classic hollow body guitar from Gibson remains, probably, the most versatile, timeless electric, semi acoustic guitar that exists, still as popular today as ever. Premium, intermediate and professional grade guitars made in the USA that have wide appeal with players and collectors for their highly recognisable humbucker or P-90 tone and appearance, no matter the model, shape, colour or size.

Of all the hollow body guitars Gibson has produced and which are still in production and widely circulated, it’s the Gibson ES-335 that remains one of the most recognisable and memorable guitars. Associated with many high profile guitar players now and in the past, modern and legendary performers remain associated with this iconic instrument on recordings and in live settings because of the sheer tonal versatility of the instrument from blues to jazz, and that’s just the starting point.

The list is long in terms of artist association with Gibson hollow body guitars, well documented, iconic recordings and performances that best demonstrate the instruments versatility in the showmanship hands of players such as Chuck Berry (ES-355), Freddie King (ES-345), BB King (ES-355), Eric Clapton (ES-335), Larry Carlton (ES-335), Ted Nugent (Byrdland) and many, many other artists.
