The Marcus King ES-345 joins the Gibson Artist model lineup
Marcus King is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist who is known for his soulful voice, guitar skills, and diverse influences. Hailing from South Carolina, Marcus comes from a musical family and began playing guitar at a young age. His father, Marvin King, is a blues guitarist, and his grandfather was a country musician. The Gibson Marcus King ES-345 represents more than just another artist's signature model. It's a reflection of his own heritage, a personalized version of the classic model that was handed down from King's 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. All of the standard ES-345 features that you’d expect are also present, including the 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body, solid maple center block for improved sustain and feedback resistance, and gold hardware, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with kidney buttons. The mahogany neck features a Rounded profile that averages .875” at the first fret and .975" at the 12th fret. The Indian rosewood fretboard is adorned with acrylic split parallelogram inlays and equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets. A Graph Tech® nut adds to the tuning stability, and the guitar is finished in classic Sixties Cherry. A Gibson hardshell case is included to keep the Marcus King ES-345 safe when it is stored or in transport.
