Gibson Custom Debuts the Gary Clark Jr. ES-355

Gibson Custom Debuts the Gary Clark Jr. ES-355

Gibson Custom today proudly unveils the new Gary Clark Jr. ES‑355™, a striking signature model created in close collaboration with the four‑time GRAMMY® Award–winning guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Austin-born and globally celebrated for his electrifying live performances, Gary Clark Jr. has long blended blues, rock, soul, and hip hop into a sound entirely his own. His previous Gibson and Epiphone signature instruments—the SG™ and Casino™—each captured facets of his musical identity, but the ES‑355 represents a deeper personal connection. Inspired by the first time he saw B.B. King command the stage with one, the ES‑355 has become Clark’s new number‑one guitar, now reimagined with the craftsmanship and detail of the Gibson Custom Shop. The Gary Clark Jr. Custom ES‑355 is available worldwide at Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London, via authorized Gibson Custom dealers, and on Gibson.com.

Keeley Nocturne Review

Keeley Nocturne Review

One of the great paradoxes of guitar sonics is that reverb, an effect invented to give electronic and recorded sound more natural ambience, can also make the instrument feel otherworldly. It’s reverb that transforms guitar and amp into waves crashing off the Malibu cliffs, and reverb that makes the Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” sound like the darkest of moonless city nights.
