Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

There is no more powerful icon of early rock and roll than the image of Chuck Berry duckwalking across the stage, brandishing his Gibson ES-350. By special arrangement, Gibson Custom is producing the first ever Chuck Berry Signature guitar. A historically correct replica of that classic 1955 short-scale ES-350T, this very-limited-edition instrument features hand-picked figured maple, Custom Shop P90 pickups and includes a replica strap and a replica of the "lucky" bolo tie Berry wore throughout the 1950s. Includes deluxe hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
