Gibson Dave Grohl Signature ES-335 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Metallic Gold

In his successful segue from drummer with legendary Nirvana to guitarist, singer and songwriter with Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl has eternally secured his reputation as one of the most influential alternative rockers of our time. Daves choice of electric guitar”surprising to some, a traditionally inspired semi-acoustic”further emphasizes his individuality, and declares his dedication to tone, style, and classic Gibson quality. To celebrate Daves achievements, Gibson Memphis introduces the Dave Grohl ES-335, a guitar made in the tradition of the great thinline vintage semi-acoustics, with Daves signature apparent from every angle in its distinctive looks, sound and feel.

Built to the specs of a great vintage ES-335, the Dave Grohl Signature model also exhibits visual characteristics of the Trini Lopez model of the 60s, a guitar that Dave has played on several Foo Fighter tours and recordings. The foundation follows the familiar laminated maple top and back, with a solid maple core with cedar rim liners, with characteristic diamond f-holes in the guitars top like the Trini model that inspired it. The mahogany neck is glued in with a historic large mortise-and-tenon joint, and has a hand-selected dark, one-piece rosewood fingerboard with acrylic split-diamond inlays and a Corian nut cut to perfection on our PLEK. A superb playing feel is assured by a neck profile with optimum comfort, with stand-out looks from the striking Firebird-style six-a-side headstock. Stellar tone from mean to mellow is assured by a pair of Daves preferred Burstbucker pickups, a #2 in the neck and a hotter #3 in the bridge, with the classic control assembly and hardware complement. This limited edition sees 200 available in Pelham Blue and 400 in Metallic Gold.
