Description
The Gibson Dave Grohl DG-335 in Pelham Blue finish is one of the most iconic and sought-after signature models ever made by Gibson. Born from Dave Grohl’s idea to combine the versatility of the ES-335 with the character of the Trini Lopez, this guitar has become a true cult object over the years, both for Foo Fighters fans and enthusiasts of the great Gibson semi-hollows. Its unmistakable Pelham Blue finish, Firebird headstock, and distinctive diamond soundholes give it a unique personality, instantly recognizable on any stage. The DG-335 is based on the historic 1967 Trini Lopez that has accompanied Dave Grohl for years, becoming his inseparable “lucky guitar.”
Construction-wise, it features all the solidity of the ES-335 platform, with a semi-hollow body and maple center block that guarantees sustain, feedback control, and an extremely balanced response. The mahogany neck offers a comfortable and fast feel, while the pair of Burstbucker humbuckers delivers an open, dynamic, and harmonically rich sound, capable of effortlessly transitioning from deep, three-dimensional cleans to full-bodied, aggressive distortion without ever losing definition. It’s a guitar that’s elegant and refined, yet also unleashes the full grit of modern rock when needed.
More than just a signature guitar, the DG-335 represents the perfect blend of Gibson tradition and contemporary rock spirit. It’s an instrument with a powerful character, built for those seeking an unmistakable aesthetic, great sonic versatility, and that special feeling that only some guitars can convey as soon as you pick them up.
