Description
The Gibson MOD series focuses on that intangible quality that all musicians absolutely love, but can’t easily define: “mojo.” Selecting a particular model from their Historic lineup and slathering on the mojo, Gibson goes beyond just replicating and reinvents these iconic axes to create something entirely new and different. The Gibson Memphis 1961 ES-335 Bigsby MOD features a Bigsby B-7 vibrola tailpiece with “ground down” anchor studs, “heavy flake” blue sparkle gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, Grover “Milk Bottle” Rotomatic tuners, black headstock stinger, and dual Memphis Historic Spec humbucking pickups with Memphis Tone Control Historic wiring to keep this ES-335 a ’61 at heart, but spin it off in a thoroughly unexpected way that’s sure to be appreciated by vintage collectors and modern players alike.
About Gibson Memphis:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
If Beale Street could talk, it might tell you about Gibson Memphis. Producing all of Gibson’s semi-hollow and hollow body guitars, the Gibson Memphis facility is the heart of the blues.
