Gibson Custom Unveils Gustavo Cerati ES-335
Gibson Custom is offering a limited run of 60 Gustavo Cerati ES-335 guitars inspired by the musician’s original 1965 instrument.
Gibson Custom Gustavo Cerati ES-335 is limited to 60 guitars worldwide and will be available from Gibson Garage Miami in-store or by phone starting Friday, September 18. The instrument is inspired by Cerati’s original 1965 ES-335, which later became his main guitar during the Bocanada (1999) period.
The Murphy Lab-aged instrument features a 60s Cherry finish and various custom appointments. It comes with a special hard case, a leather back pad and a Certificate of Authenticity. Cerati originally purchased the Gibson ES-335 TD from Rudy’s Music in New York in the mid-1990s.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1959, Cerati gained international recognition as the lead singer, guitarist and creative force of Soda Stereo. As a solo artist, he moved into electronic, experimental and alternative rock. Billboard named Soda Stereo the No. 1 Latin rock band of all time this year.
Soda Stereo is currently on the ECOS tour, with Charly Alberti and Zeta Bosio performing onstage alongside a digital avatar of Cerati. Gibson’s project is the company’s first example of officially celebrating the musician’s legacy with an artist instrument.
