Gibson has announced the launch of the limited-edition Chuck Berry 1955 ES-350T, created in collaboration with the Chuck Berry family.

The guitar is a replica of Chuck’s 1955 ES-350T. The historically accurate guitar will be available starting on October 18, coinciding with Chuck Berry’s birthday, at authorised Gibson Dealers worldwide.

The guitar features historically-accurate construction and hardware, including figured maple, a pair of dog-ear P-90 pickups, a replica strap and a replica of the Zuni “Sun God” bolo tie that Chuck wore throughout the 1950s.

Charles Berry Jr. (son of Chuck Berry) said about the guitar: “how is it that I’m now holding a brand-new, as authentic as it gets ES-350T? Gibson wanted to do a guitar with my Dad… the goal was to make them as authentic as possible. And this is as authentic as possible… absolutely perfect”.

Only 55 Chuck Berry 1955 ES-350Ts will be available worldwide. Find out more at gibson.com.
