About the Guitar:
This is a Gibson custom shop build replica of Alvin Lee's 1959 ES-335 (which Lee nicknamed Big Red) that was used by him during the Woodstock Festival, 1969. It sported a faster '60s block inlay neck and an added pickup in the center position. When he cranked out the scorching solo to "Going Home" at Woodstock, his iconic axe became preserved for all time on celluloid. Here it is in the flesh, reproduced with utmost precision right down to the cool stickers and faded cherry finish.
It features:
Laminated maple top, back, and sides
One-piece 1960 mahogany neck with long tenon
Bound rosewood fretboard
Black finish on back of neck
Naked '57 Classic humbuckers at the neck and bridge
Single-coil Seymour Duncan in the middle position
Top and back binding
Alvin Lee stickers on finish
Chrome hardware
Kidney bean tuners
ABR-1 bridge
TP-6 tailpiece
24-3/4" scale
This is the limited edition build guitar (only 50 made and signed by Alvin Lee).
