1962 GibsonES-355 – Cherry (Signed by B.B. King)
From its display at the Ryman Auditorium to our showroom, this 1962 Gibson ES-355 with an original ebony block tailpiece is an all-around gorgeous piece, and it’s even signed by B.B. King! You heard us right, this guitar was on display at the Ryman for a few years before returning to us! This original Cherry finish is still as vibrant as ever, and its ebony block makes this an even rarer find. In hand, this neck feels comfortable and easy to navigate, and these well-matched humbuckers sound fantastic! This 355 features a patent no. pickup in the neck and PAF in the bridge! With the varitone, there are tons of tonal options to choose from, and the vibrato works great to add some more variation to your sound. It’s a great player with rare specs and features a celebrity autograph… it’s a triple threat!
