Semi-hollow electric guitar

Unique copy bearing the serial number BBES33505. Net weight (without case): 4.05 kg.

There isn't a guitar hero alive today who hasn't been influenced and impacted by the powerful performances of B.B. King, and arguably, none was more legendary than his appearance at a music festival promoting the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle" heavyweight boxing match in Zaire in 1974 , where B.B. played the 1974 ES-355 that he favored up until developing the Gibson Lucille model in 1980.
GIBSON Custom Shop B.B. King Rumble in the Jungle 1974 ES-355 (BBES355ZWGH1) is a limited edition of only 100 guitars and accurately replicates B.B. 's Walnut 1974 ES-355 that he used for that concert. It features Murphy Lab Light Aging, mother-of-pearl inlays, T-Type Custombucker pickups, a mono Varitone switch, and a Maestro™ Vibrola™ tailpiece.
It also comes bundled with a host of case candy that ties back to that historic festival performance, as well as the legendar y Rumble in the Jungle fight itself. A B.B. King "Zaire" hardshell case is also included.
