Slash's Blues Muse

Slash’s ES-335 is a super clean example from 1963 which proved inspirational when recording his latest solo record, the star-studded blues album Orgy of the Damned on Gibson Records. In celebration of the release of Orgy of the Damned, Gibson Custom is proud to release this limited Collector’s Edition reproduction of Slash’s beautiful ES-335. This is Slash’s first ES-335 signature model, and it features light aging from the Murphy Lab to match Slash’s original 1963 ES-335, a Bigsby® B7 vibrato tailpiece, a Custom Made plaque, and a customized pair of unpotted Custombucker pickups constructed with Alnico 2 magnets. This special Collector’s Edition is limited to only 50 guitars, so the Slash 1963 ES-335 is destined to become a prized instrument for players, collectors, and Slash fans alike. In addition, buyers will receive a collection of case candy that includes a signed copy of Slash's new album, Orgy of the Damned, a signed copy of The Collection: Slash coffee table book, and a Certificate of Authenticity, and will be invited to attend an exclusive VIP experience at the Gibson Garage Nashville, where Slash and his Blues Band will treat fans to an intimate live performance and signing event.
