Gibson Luther Dickinson 335 / P-90 VOS Electric Guitar Desert Burst

An original semi-hollowbody with single coil pickups and a Bigsby tremolo.




Steeped in the authentic blues of North
Mississippi Hill Country originals like R.L. Burnside, Junior Kimbrough
and Otha Turner, Luther Dickinson and his North Mississippi Allstars
made a major impact on the music world when they hit the scene in the
late 1990s. His searing tone and dynamic playing style have become
instantly recognizable, and Dickinson has lent his formidable chops to
class acts like Beck, the Replacements and Mojo Nixon.

The Luther
Dickinson ES-335 packs Dickinson’s own heady blend of innovation and
tradition into a fresh—yet timeless—guitar whose surprising versatility
fits multiple genres of music like a glove.

The Luther Dickinson
ES-335 is built in the image of the renowned late-’50s ES-335, with a
semi-hollow body for depth and resonance and a solid maple center block
to aid sustain and combat feedback. Rather than the ES-335’s humbucking
pickups, however, it carries a pair of Dickinson’s beloved P-90
single-coil pickups with “dog-ear” covers, for a distinctively biting,
punchy tone.

To top it all off, Luther wanted the guitar’s finish
to match the finish on a vintage ES-175 owned by his father, Memphis
musician and producer Jim Dickinson, so Gibson Memphis pulled out all
the stops. The deep, rich, vintage-toned “Jim Dickinson Burst” drips
with tradition, and looks and feels gently aged right out of the case,
thanks to Gibson’s proprietary VOS process.

Body and Neck
Built
in the image of the original 335s of the late 1950s, the Luther
Dickinson ES-335 features a top, back and sides made from laminated
maple with a solid maple center block, and traditional f-holes. The
glued-in neck is made from solid quarter-sawn mahogany, topped with a
hand-selected dark rosewood fingerboard with late-’50s pearloid dot
position markers. The body’s top and back and the fingerboard are all
trimmed in vintage cream binding. The guitar’s nylon nut is cut on the
PLEK automated trimming system for unparalleled precision.

Pickups and Electronics
A
pair of Gibson’s legendary P-90 pickups with “dog-ear” covers graces
the Luther Dickinson ES-335. Since their arrival in the mid ’40s, these
pickups have won fans for their thick, slightly gritty midrange and
distinctive bite. These P-90s are extremely accurate recreations of the
originals, made with dual Alnico II magnets and Custom wound with 42 AWG
wire and left unpotted for added character and are hum canceling when
in the middle position. They are routed through the traditional
complement of two independent volume and two independent tone controls,
with a three-way Switchcraft toggle for pickup selection.

Hardware
The
Luther Dickinson ES-335 carries an ABR bridge and Bigsby™ vibrato
tailpiece, with high-quality Kluson tuners featuring single-ring tulip
buttons, all gently aged in Gibson’s VOS process. The controls have
amber Top-Hat knobs with no inserts, and the guitar has a traditional
bell truss rod cover and 5-ply B/W/B/W/B pickguard.

Each guitar comes protected in a hardshell case and includes a Gibson Memphis Certificate of Authenticity.
