Gibson Dave Grohl DG-335 in Gold Metallic Electric Guitar, 2014 [USED]

Here is a very special instrument – the Gibson Dave Grohl DG-335 in Gold Metallic, signed by Dave Grohl and numbered 379 of 400.  This guitar was built at Gibson Memphis during 2014. 

This very limited production instrument wears the strikingly attractive Gold Metallic lacquer finish, and white binding around the body and fingerboard. Hardware is Chrome plated. This example is in extremely good, clean condition, with virtually no wear of any kind.  

The Certificate of Authenticity, signed by Dave Grohl, is included in the black arched top case, which itself has both the Gibson logo and an image of Dave Grohl's signature.

The Gibson Dave Grohl DG-335 is based on Dave Grohl’s Gibson Trini Lopez Standard, which has been used on all the Foo Fighters albums.  The Gibson Trini Lopez Standard model was built between 1964 and 1971, and was in turn based on the ES-335. The primary visual adjustments to the base models were the six-a-side headstock, the diamond shaped soundholes, and split diamond position markers. And, of course, the custom finishes, which included the Gold Metallic seen here and Pelham Blue.  

The Gibson Dave Grohl DG-335 differs from the ES-335 based Trini Lopez model mostly in terms of hardware.   The trapeze tailpiece of the Trini Lopez model has been replaced with a stop tailpiece, and the pickups are BurstBuckers.   The tuners are Grover Mini Rotomatics.  The scale length is 24.6 inches (625mm) and the nut width is 1.693 inches.

Vintage note: The original Gibson Trini Lopez model, the Custom, was based on the Gibson Barney Kessel, a completely different, fully hollow, full depth archtop electric guitar.
