Dave Grohl DG-335 Limited Edition, Alpine White
You really can have it all—again Dave Grohl, the legendary 19-time GRAMMY® winner and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has long been associated with Gibson guitars. Since 2021, he’s been performing with a striking Alpine White version of his signature DG-335 at Foo Fighters shows around the world. Now, Gibson is releasing a highly exclusive run of this guitar, finished in the same Alpine White gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. This limited-edition model blends elements from the ES-335 and Trini Lopez designs, as specified by Dave himself. It features a semi-hollow three-ply maple/poplar/maple body with bound diamond-shaped sound holes in the Trini Lopez style, single-ply cream binding on the top and back, and a solid maple centerblock that helps reduce feedback. The mahogany neck includes a long tenon for improved sustain and is carved to a standard Trini Lopez profile. It’s topped with a bound Indian rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and split diamond inlays made of cellulose. The Firebird™/Trini Lopez style headstock is fitted with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners for reliable performance. Hardware includes a TonePros™ ABR-1 bridge with nylon saddles and a locking TonePros Stop Bar tailpiece, offering excellent tuning stability and sustain. The electronics feature unpotted Custombuckers with rough cast vintage spec Alnico 3 magnets, wired to individual volume and tone controls with CTS® potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors. A Switchcraft® 3-way toggle and ¼-inch output jack complete the setup. Gold Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and dial pointers make it easy to check your settings at a glance. Previous DG-335 releases have sold out quickly and remain highly sought-after on the vintage market. With only fifty guitars available in this special run—each featuring a soundhole label signed by Dave Grohl—this edition is expected to go fast. Each guitar ships with a Gibson Custom hardshell case and is available exclusively at Gibson.com and the Gibson Garage locations in Nashville and London.
