Gibson Announces A Limited Edition Tribute Guitar To Chris Cornell
Written by A on 17 Ιανουαρίου 2019
Gibson has announced today that they will be releasing a limited edition guitar in tribute to late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell, who passed away back in May 2017.
The guitar is essentially a re-issue of Cornell’s signature guitar, the ES335, which was initially released back in 2013 except this version comes with Cornell’s signature on the headstock.
The guitar was unveiled at the Chris Cornell tribute concert, I Am The Highway: A Tribute To Chris Cornell, which went down in LA on January 16th. The concert featured a whole slew of performances from the likes of Dave Grohl, Metallica and Josh Homme to name a few.

We are honored to announce the re-release of the Chris Cornell Tribute 335 and to be part of tomorrow’s “I Am The Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell” concert at the Forum in Los Angeles. A night that not only pays tribute to Cornell, but will also help raise awareness for two causes he was passionate about: the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation, which helps vulnerable children, and The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation. “I am not your blowing wind, I am the lightning. I am not your autumn moon, I am the night.” #ChrisCornell #KeepThePromise #IAmTheHighway #gibson
