LEARN ABOUT THE GIBSON ES
Gibson's innovative body styles profoundly changed the sound of music history.
Class From the Past
The ES (Electric Spanish) models debuted in 1936 and remain among the most coveted of our array of collections. Some are particularly storied, like the B.B. King Lucille, and some are ubiquitous workhorses, like the ES-335. Foundational to both rock and jazz, these instruments bring world-class tone and beauty to the fore.

My First Gibson: Erik Paparozzi of Cat Power
As the rhythm guitarist in Cat Power, Erik Paparozzi has toured the world several times over with his trusted ES-335. After many visits to Jack's Music in Redbank, NJ in 1989, he purchased his very first Gibson that would go on to become his number one guitar for the next 30 years.
