A love letter to one of the coolest guitars of all time. Is there a more iconic guitar player on Earth than Keith Richards? For more than six decades, the “Human Riff” has been the heartbeat of The Rolling Stones, inspiring millions of fans and musicians the world over to get out of their seats and rock ’n’ roll. It’s difficult to imagine the popular music landscape without the monolithic presence of Keith Richards looming over it with impossible cool, godlike nonchalance, and, of course, impeccable taste in guitars. Ask any guitarist which instrument of Keith’s they desire the most, and we’re willing to bet his black 1960 Gibson ES-355 is top of the list. Keith first used an ES-355 back in 1969, taking it out on the road and into the studio during the legendary recording sessions for Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. His black 1960 model has also been a staple of each and every planet-straddling Rolling Stones tour since 1997. Now, we are proud to present the Keith Richards 1960 ES-355 Collector’s Edition guitar, an exacting replica of the Gibson ES-355 he made famous. Handcrafted in the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, it’s not just a tribute to Keith’s original guitar; it’s effectively a clone, employing new 3D scanning technology, identical materials and construction methods, and meticulous Murphy Lab aging. The devil is in the details, and this guitar captures every nuance of the original, right down to the sonics. Limited to only 150 guitars worldwide;. 100 hand-signed by Keith Richards on the F-hole label, and 50 hand-signed on both the F-hole label and the back of the headstock.

Great Scott! The wait is over! Marty McFly’s “Johnny B. Goode” moment in Back to the Future made history with the help of a Gibson ES-345… a guitar that wouldn’t even exist until 1959, four years after he stunned the crowd at the “Enchantment Under the Sea” dance. A guitar ahead of its time for a performance that inspired generations. Now, in the present day 2025, we are excited to announce the Back to the Future “1955” ES-345 Collector’s Edition—a masterfully crafted homage to the guitar that bridged generations. Built true to the original guitar’s rare design, it includes a single parallelogram inlay at the 12th fret—a detail unique to the film-used model. A Lifton hardshell case adorned with Marvin Berry and The Starlighters graphics, along with a specially curated selection of case candy, including the crucial Flux Capacitor that helped make this trip back to the future possible. Only 88 of these special guitars will be made.

Since 1975, Gibson electric guitars have been handcrafted in the heart of Music City—Nashville, Tennessee, where wood and steel meet heart and soul. Using the finest materials and premium parts, time-honored processes like rope binding, and original tooling from Kalamazoo, we don’t do things the easiest way or the fastest way. We do things the right way—the Gibson way. More than 130 years since Orville Gibson began making his first musical instruments, we still honor his legacy. Every Gibson is built to inspire for generations to come, with personal touches like hand-sprayed sunburst finishes and figured maple tops as unique as a fingerprint. The same ES laminate press we used to make instruments played by icons is still in use today. Their guitars came out of that machine, and yours did too. But it’s the final hands that touch a Gibson guitar that are the most important. Your hands. Your Gibson. Your story.

It’s a powerful reminder of the craftsmanship and passion that continue in Nashville today using the same techniques and even some of the same machines. #FromTheArchives
