Slash and Gibson have teamed up for their brand new, very limited Collector’s Edition 1963 ES-335 from Gibson Custom. Made in close collaboration with Slash and the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee and artfully aged by the Murphy Lab to match the original guitar, only 50 of these Collector’s Edition hand-signed guitars will be available exclusively via the Gibson Garage Nashville, alongside an exclusive VIP live performance at the Gibson Garage with the artist this summer.
“I used a beautiful and killer sounding 1963 ES-335 Gibson for more than a few songs on Orgy of the Damned,” said Slash. “Gibson has now built a fantastic replica of this extraordinary guitar. Same dot neck, Bigsby tremolo, and finish. You have to check it out.”
The new guitar is also in celebration of Slash’s new record Orgy Of The Damned. Buyers will receive a rare assembly of case candy that includes a hand-signed copy of Orgy of the Damned, a signed copy of the The Collection: Slash coffee table book, and a Certificate of Authenticity. In addition, buyers will be invited to attend a once-in-a-lifetime exclusive VIP experience at the Gibson Garage Nashville, where Slash and his blues band will treat fans to an intimate live performance and signing event.
The ES-335 features light aging from the Murphy Lab to match his original 1963 ES-335, a Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece, a Custom Made plaque, and a customized pair of unpotted Custombucker pickups constructed with Alnico 2 magnets. This Slash 1963 ES-335 is destined to become a prized instrument for players, collectors, and Slash fans alike. Each element adds to the authenticity and performance of this collector’s piece, which comes with a Lifton Black leather and Yellow plush interior Hardshell guitar case.
