This exclusive limited edition was only available during 2019, and our example here is new old dealer stock, in 100% brand new condition – still has that “new car” smell! – and could well be the guitar that completely turns your musical life around!
Spec's
Fully handcrafted at Gibson's famous Beale Street Custom Shop in Memphis, the spec’s list is almost mind-boggling. Closely modelled on the legendary 1958 original, but with a dynamite set of Memphis Historic Spec (MHS) P-90 single-coils, plus Memphis Tone Control circuitry, elsewhere you get :-
Classic ES-335 Maple & Poplar body construction
Hand-carved Spruce bracing
Solid Maple centre-block, for that unmistakeable 335 tone & sustain
Vintage-aged front & rear binding
Genuine Gibson nitro finish
Maple neck, with late fifties rounded C-profile
12” radiused Rosewood fingerboard, with pearl dot inlays
Medium-jumbo frets
Bone nut
Grover Rotomatic tuners
ABR-1 bridge with titanium-plated brass saddles
Zinc diecast stopbar tailpiece with locking studs
Hand-wired 500k pots & Orange Drop caps
Bridge pickup wired in reverse polarity, for humbucker quiet in the middle position
Carlos Santana
As we noted at the front, this is pretty much a Casino with a centre block – but many thousands of dollars less than trying to source a vintage model like the ones made famous by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The MHS pickups possess a cutting tone that you don’t get with regular single-coils and humbuckers. Check out Carlos Santana’s performance at the original Woodstock festival, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaaT_HRb4GU) Although he was using an SG that day, the tone of our P-90 335 is extraordinarily similar.
