Novedad guitarra Gibson B.B. King “Rumble in the Jungle” 1974 ES-355

B.B. King “Rumble in the Jungle” 1974 ES-355
SKU – Finish: BBES355ZWGH1 – Walnut VOS
Background: In 1974, a music festival promoting the legendary “Rumble in the
Jungle” boxing match featured some of America’s greatest black artists like James Brown, Bill Withers, and the King of the Blues, B.B. King. Documentaries and albums chronicling that festival have been recently released in celebration of the 50th Anniversary.


Unique Value Proposition: There isn’t a guitar hero alive today who hasn’t been influenced and impacted by the powerful performances of B.B. King, and none was more legendary than his appearance in Zaire in 1974, playing the walnut ES-355 that he favored up until developing the Gibson Lucille model in 1980. This limited-edition offering replicates that walnut ES-355 and adds a host of colorful case candy tying back to that historic performance as well as the Rumble in the Jungle fight itself.
