The Story

B.B. King Live at the Regal ES-335 Argentine Grey

Commemorating one of the best live records ever made, this is the B.B. King “Live at the Regal” ES-335 built by the Gibson Custom Shop. Recreating the unique 1959 ES-335 which B.B. King played at the time that was custom ordered with a unique Argentine Grey sunburst finish and a Varitone switch – the guitar has been expertly aged by the Murphy Lab as well with intricate finish checking and a light patina added to the nickel hardware. More specs include Grover milk bottle tuners, pearl dots over the stopbar stud holes, and a Custom Shop lifton hardshell case included. Only 100 of these Live at the Regal ES-335s are made, making it an excellent collectible as much as it is a masterfully crafted Gibson guitar.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Paperwork
