In September 2007, Gibson introduced the DG-335, designed in collaboration with the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. It was discontinued recently. Grohl’s Inspired By DG-335 has the classic Firebird-style headstock with six-on-a-side tuners set into an ES-335 style semi-hollow body. The body of the guitar has stylish diamond f-holes and a double cutaway design. The inlays on the rosewood fretboard are acrylic split diamond which is a unique feature that remains from the original Trini Lopez model. The guitar was available in two colors – Pelham Blue and Ebony.

The DG-335 is a variation on Trini Lopez’s signature Gibson, essentially a Trini Lopez with a stopbar tailpiece and with Gibson’s new Burstbucker humbuckers.

  • Body Material: Laminated Maple top, back, rims
