Want to own a piece of Gibson and Keith Richard's history? The Music Zoo is thrilled to announce, and offer the new Keith Richards 1960 ES-355 - a signed and limited edition love letter to one of the coolest guitars, ever.
This replica of a very famous Keith semi-hollow is limited to 100 units for the signed label version - which we're honored to have available at our shop!
Developed in close collaboration with Richards himself, these guitars represent a rare opportunity for fans and collectors alike to own a signed replica of one of Keith’s best-loved and most recognizable guitars.
For more than six decades, the “Human Riff” has been the heartbeat of The Rolling Stones, inspiring millions of fans and musicians the world over to get out of their seats and rock ’n’ roll. It’s difficult to imagine the landscape of popular music without the monolithic presence of Keith Richards looming over it with impossible cool, godlike nonchalance, and, of course, impeccable taste in guitars. Ask any guitarist which of Keith’s instruments they desire the most, and we’re willing to bet his black 1960 Gibson ES-355 will top the list. Keith first used an ES-355 back in 1969, taking it out on the road and into the studio during the legendary recording sessions for Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. His black 1960 model has been a staple of every planet-straddling Rolling Stones tour since 1997.
This remarkable Instrumentfrom Gibson Custom features a multi-ply bound body made from three-ply maple/poplar/maple, with red spruce bracing and a maple centerblock for enhanced sustain and reduced feedback, weight-relieved at Keith’s request for greater comfort. The mahogany neck sports a custom Keith Richards profile derived from 3D scans of the original, measuring approximately .801” at the first fret, .905” at the 12th, and 1.625” at the nut. The bound ebony fingerboard includes mother-of-pearl block inlays and Medium Wide fretwire, just like Keith’s original guitar.
Premium hardware consists of a Bigsby® B7 vibrato tailpiece and Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with Milk Bottle buttons, while every metal part, plastic component, and the Ebony nitrocellulose finish has been hand-aged by Murphy Lab artisans to replicate decades of wear. A pair of unpotted Custombucker pickups with Alnico 5 magnets developed especially for this model are wired to CTS® 500k audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, delivering the unmistakable sound of the original. Each guitar ships in a Gibson Protector series case with a certificate of authenticity and a replica of the strap Keith Richards uses. This is your chance to own a piece of music history.
