Gibson ES-335 that is done in a Charoite stone design with variegated gold leaf binding and gold leaf/hand-striped by Beth Kearney. It started life as a black Gibson ES335 (thanks to Steve at WildwoodGuitars), we cut it down and shot a metallic purple nitrocellulose base on the back and sides and a vintage nitrocellulose clearcoat.
This one was made for the organization BlackGirlsHack via Halcyon to be auctioned off in short order (or a long time ago depending on when you are reading this 🙂 it’s early Aug ’24 right now). The auction is live at BGH Foundation Guitar Auction – ending Dec, 5 2024.
Putting those semi-hollow bodies back together is not for the feint of heart 🙂 but I think this is one of my favorite pieces to date.
