A 335 Inspired by Roy Orbison Back by popular demand! After the massive success of the 70th anniversary Orbison 335 Ebony in 2006 (sold out in two hours!), the Custom Shop is returning with another limited run. Don't miss another chance to capitalize on the global popularity of Roy Orbison. Only 200 will be built! The Gibson Custom Shop Inspired by Roy Orbison 335 - It was a good day for rock and roll when a young Roy Orbison asked his daddy for a harmonica and got a guitar instead. To commemorate what would be the 70th birthday of the man who influenced the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bernie Taupin and (oh, who wasn't influenced by Roy?), Gibson will build only 200 Inspired by Roy Orbison 335s, based on the guitar that he played with the Traveling Wilburys. Roy's original was made in Nashville in 1982. He had modified his guitar with a T-P6 tailpiece for fine tuning of the intonation. Gibson has accurately reproduced this guitar with the exacting neck dimensions and slightly aged look to the lacquer to be true to Roy's original. Looking for some inspiration?

Only 200 will be Built The Custom Shop Inspired by Roy Orbison 335 is a member of Gibson's "Inspired By" Series, built to commemorate the influential career of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer. Gibson has chosen to craft only 200 of these guitars, making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have the instrument the inspired the man himself, as well as the biggest names in rock history. Not Too Fat, Not Too Thin No, we're not talking about the latest fad diet, we're talking about the '59 rounded neck profile. Many players who have never picked up a guitar with this kind of neck are often shocked at how easily it handles. '57 classic pickups With a "Patent Applied For" decal on the baseplate, the '57 Classic humbuckers are faithful replicas of the famous Gibson pickups that helped define the music of the late 1950s. While this timeless beauty gives you a tone that is warm and subtle with full, even response, it doesn't hold back when you need that classic Gibson humbucker crunch! The '57 Classic features Gibson's special Alnico II magnet, vintage enamel coated wire, and nickel-plated pole pieces. Gibson Custom Shop Inspired by Roy Orbison 335 Features:
