Brand new Custom Shop Murrphy Lab Gibson B.B. King "Rumble in the Jungle" 1974 ES-355 Walnut Limited to 100 Pieces Worldwide. We have number 36 of 100.
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.
