The Gibson Custom Shop commemorates B.B. King's landmark live album, "Live at the Regal," and the legendary artist behind it with the B.B. King "Live at the Regal" ES-335. This instrument is a recreation of the unique 1959 ES-335 that B.B. used at the time, which was custom-ordered with an Argentine Grey sunburst finish, a Bigsby vibrato and a Varitone switch. This reissue also features Grover "Milk Bottle" Rotomatic tuners, pearl dots to cover the stop bar holes and dot inlays topping the rosewood fingerboard. Only 100 of these very special guitars have been made. A hardshell case and certificate of authenticity are also included.
