The Black Crowes axeman Rich Robinson is being welcomed into the Gibson signature artist line with an awesome ES-335 with Gibson Memphis badge.
Gibson, the name of the richest tradition and legacy in the world of electric guitars. The guitar among guitars and instrument among the instruments. Gibsons have largely changed and shaped rock, blues, jazz and metal music through the past six decades into what we now know, listen to and love. And each time a Gibson guitar created new legacy, it was done through a change, a ground breaking, game-changing effort. Sometimes it was the technology, sometimes the new style of play and music, and sometimes it was all about the player`s genius that propelled both the Gibson guitar and the entire world into a new level of existence. Knowing that the legacy and tradition are kept through change, redefinition and infusion of the fresh blood, Gibson opens the arms of it`s signature artist lineup for another potential game-changing axeman, one and only Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes. This hard working and hard playing rocker used to be counted among the most under-rated guitar slingers around, but with his new signature ES-335 from Memphis Custom, Rich finally gets the recognition he so rightfully deserves.
Gibson Memphis Rich Robinson ES-335 is a cool and laid back jazz classic made for the ever-demanding player of today who has a knack for mashing the classic and modern together. It is for players who take on a wide variety of styles, but are still rockers deep down in their hearts. Semi-hollow and double-cut body of this ES-335 is made of three layers of maple and poplar and has a solid center block to neutralize the potential feedback problems. It`s paired with a comfy and fast mahogany neck. Three-piece bridge unit, Burstbucker pickups, classic ES-335 styling and supreme choice of hardware put this Southern Belle far above any potential competition.
