Gibson Custom Shop Lee Ritenour VOS ES335 Electric Guitar (With Case)

The Gibson Lee Ritenour ES335 Electric Guitar is the jazz icon's signature axe! One of the world’s most leading jazz guitarist and winner of 17 Grammy nominations, Lee Ritenour was heavily influenced by contemporary jazz styles of Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass and Barney Kessel. He was a sought after sessions player in the mid ‘70s and now has his own distinctive sound & fluid style. The Gibson Custom Shop Lee Ritenour ES335 is a recreation of his original guitar.

The body is built from laminated maple with a cream top and back binding and Antique Faded Cherry finish. The 1-piece mahogany neck sports Lee's custom neck profile and is crowned with cream binding. The first 50 of these beauties are signed by Lee Ritenour with the additional 100 instruments being given the VOS treatment.

Gibson Custom not only excels at creating custom instruments for the cream of the music crop, but they also conjure a little black magic in the form of faithfully recreating classic axes from the past. The Gibson Custom treatment isn't just cosmetic, as these amazing guitars often sport period-specific electronics, pots, and capacitors as well. Whether it's a decked-out, souped-up Les Paul or an SG that's cosmetically and electronically the same as it was when it first rolled off the line in 1961, Gibson Custom is the source for premium Gibson electric guitars.
