FROM GIBSON GUITARS:

Marcus King is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist with the soul of American roots music flowing through his DNA. Hailing from South Carolina, his spine-tingling vocals and emotive guitar playing were influenced from an early age by his blues guitarist father, Marvin King, and his grandfather, a country musician. Now, before reaching the age of 30, Marcus is partnering with Gibson on a second remarkable signature model, based on the instrument that was handed down from his grandfather to his father, and finally to him as he took his family's musical legacy to stages worldwide.

Originally released as a Custom Shop model, the new Marcus King ES-345 is inspired by his main guitar, a 1962 ES-345 that was handed down to him by his family. This modern version captures the look and vibe of his original, with only the features that Marcus finds essential, including mono wiring, a pair of Custombucker humbucker™ pickups, a fixed Vibrola™ tailpiece for improved tuning stability, and a stud anchor cover customized specifically for Marcus King.
