Music

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. This model 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 legendary Rumble in the Jungle fight itself. A B.B. King "Zaire" hardshell case is also included.Standard SpecificationsGeneral InfoBrand:Gibson Custom Shop Model:B.B King “Rumble In The Jungle” 1974 ES-355Color:Walnut VOS Serial:BB-ES-355-82Weight:Call Condition:New BodyTop Material:Plain Laminated MapleBody Material:Plain Laminated MapleFinish:Murphy Lab Light Aged Nitrocellulose   Neck Material:3-Piece MahoganyFinish:VOS NitrocelluloseFingerboard Material/Radius:EbonyFrets (Number and Size):22 Inlays:Mother-of-Pearl Custom BlockNut (Material and Width):Corian, 1.69" Scale Length:24.75" Profile:Artist Profile   ElectronicsPickups: 2x T-Type Custombucker Alnico 5Pickup Switching:3-Way SwitchingControls:2 Volume, 2 Tone, 6-Position Mono Varitone; Vintage Taper Potentiometers, Ceramic Capacitors   Hardware Tuning Machines:Kluson Waffleback with Metal ButtonBridge:Tune-O-MaticPickguard: Tortoiseshell Control Knobs:Black Witch Hat with Gold InsertHardware Finish:Aged Gold  AccessoriesHardshell Case & COA
