Gibson ES 335

OK Ladies and Gentlemen - Here is the most prized Foo Fighters possession, Dave's Pelham Blue Gibson guitar.  Selling one of my DG-335's that I have had tucked away.  It's dead mint with no scratches, blemishes, or anything.  The guitar sounds and plays amazing.  I've played it maybe 20 minutes since I bought it.  Read below for information off the Gibson website but this is the Gibson Custom Shop inspired by series.  Here's the chance to own a guitar just like what Dave has been playing all over the TV the last few days since the Foo Fighters have been promoting their new album, Wasting Light, which is awesome by the way and you need to pick up ASAP.   These guitars were only produced in 2007 with a total of 250 of each color being produced.  Dave got several of each color out of this 250 but exact number is not known.  Email with questions or concerns but I have perfect feedback and have bought and sold several guitars on here and shipped them worldwide.  I will ship just about anywhere but please email me prior to buying to make sure I can ship to your country and give you an accurate shipping pirce.  I have shipped guitars all over the world with great success but some places prevent it from happening due to size restrictions.  

Payment must be recieved within three days of auction end.  I will accept cashiers checks, paypal and wire transfers.  Email with questions.  Shipping in the cont. US will be $70 via UPS, USPS, or FedEx. 

I reserve the right to end the auction early at any time since the guitar is for sale locally.

Gibson Custom Shop is proud to announce the release of the Dave Grohl Inspired By guitar—the DG-335. Beginning Thursday, October 4, the guitar—modeled after Grohl’s much-loved Gibson Trini Lopez signature model—was made available to Foo Fighters fans and guitarists everywhere. A fitting tribute to Grohl, this Gibson Inspired By model combines the bedrock authenticity of tradition with the power and passion of innovation. The DG-335 not only provides guitarists with the chance to channel the rock prowess of the Foo Fighters’ versatile frontman, but it also has the tone, performance, and style to be one of the most popular Inspired By models of all time.

A longtime Gibson enthusiast, Grohl worked closely with the luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop to create the DG-335. The quintessential guitar for today’s player, the DG-335 combines the style and versatility of the Trini Lopez (built by Gibson from 1964 to 1971) with a pair of gritty, vintage-voiced Burstbuckers and a rare Pelham Blue finish. The original Trini Lopez model was a striking take on Gibson’s ES-335 semi-hollow body guitar, and today’s DG-335 is a further fine-tuning of the legendary ES-335.

True to Grohl’s specifications, the Inspired By DG-335 has the classic Firebird-style headstock with six-on-a-side tuners set into an ES-335 style semi-hollow body. Available in either Pelham Blue or Ebony, the guitar has diamond f-holes, and the inlays on the rosewood fretboard are acrylic split diamond, a unique feature that remains from the original Trini Lopez. At Grohl’s request, the DG-335 is powered by a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and Burstbucker 2 in the bridge. Within the original Patent Applied For humbucking spec, these pickups are known for their clean and articulate distortion and singing vintage tone.

A brilliant songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Dave Grohl is one of the most dynamic and powerful performers in recent memory. Channeling the intensity of his legendary drumming into his guitar playing, Grohl rose from the ashes of Nirvana and has spent more than 10 years as the frontman and guitarist for the Foo Fighters. Gibson Custom is proud to honor Dave Grohl with the new Inspired By DG-33
