Gibson Custom '61 ES-345 Bigsby Argentine Grey Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged

The Gibson Custom '61 ES-345 built exclusively for Dijkmans Guitars in collaboration with the Murphy Lab

This is not a guitar you encounter every day. The Gibson Custom '61 ES-345 Bigsby in Argentine Grey was made specifically for Dijkmans Guitars in collaboration with Gibson's Murphy Lab, the department responsible for the most authentic aged finishes in the world. The Ultra Light Aged treatment gives the guitar a subtle, lived-in look that is just right: not overdone, but unmistakably real. Argentine Grey is a rare color that perfectly underscores the vintage identity of this instrument.

The ES-345 is the big brother of the ES-335, with a wider tonal palette thanks to its stereo electronics and Varitone switch. The semi-hollow construction delivers a warm, resonant tone with the clarity and articulation you expect from a Gibson Custom. The B7 Bigsby with 'Custom Made' imprint adds a touch of theatricality to every chord and melody line, while the triple binding on the top and back emphasizes the luxurious finish of this instrument.

The split parallelogram inlays on the fretboard are a characteristic of the original '61 specifications and give the guitar an unmistakable vintage character. The electronics are fully compliant with the historical ES-345 specs, featuring stereo output and the iconic Varitone switch for a wide range of tonal colors.

An instrument that tells its own story, the Gibson Custom '61 ES-345 Bigsby Argentine Grey Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged is both a collector's item and a player's guitar.
