Gibson, the iconic global instrument brand, will unveil the new Gibson Marcus King ES-345™ tomorrow, Tuesday, June 17, with a special in-store celebration at the Gibson Garage Nashville (209 10th Avenue South, Ste 209). The event will feature a live performance by GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, and guitar phenomenon Marcus King, followed by an on-stage Q&A with King and Mat Koehler, Gibson’s Vice President of Product.
Hand-crafted by Gibson’s expert luthiers in Nashville and finished in an elegant Sixties Cherry, the Marcus King ES-345 is King’s second signature model with Gibson and draws direct inspiration from his family heirloom 1962 ES-345—first passed to his father, blues guitarist Marvin King, and ultimately entrusted to Marcus as he launched his own musical journey. The modern iteration retains only the features King deems essential, honoring four generations of the King family’s sonic heritage.
Beginning June 17, the Gibson Marcus King ES-345 will be available worldwide through the Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London and at Gibson.com.
