Gibson DG-335 Dave Grohl Signature

The Gibson DG-335 is Dave Grohl's signature model, a custom variation of the ES-335 built at Gibson's Memphis facility. It features a Pelham Blue finish, Grohl's preferred neck profile, and pickups voiced specifically to his specifications for a hotter output that drives amplifiers harder than standard ES-335 humbuckers while retaining the semi-hollow body's characteristic warmth and resonance. The DG-335 was designed to bridge the gap between Grohl's love of the ES-335's versatile tone and his need for a guitar that could handle the Foo Fighters' heavy live performance demands without modification. The custom truss rod cover and signature headstock inlay distinguish it visually from standard 335s. The DG-335 represents one of the few artist signature semi-hollow guitars in Gibson's catalog, reflecting both Grohl's status in rock music and the renewed interest in semi-hollow guitars among alternative and heavy rock players that his visible adoption helped inspire.
