On this edition of the Guitar Bucket List series, we’ll be looking at my Gibson ES-335 that is called the “Double Diamond” because of its Trini Lopez model style sound holes. It’s also in a rare white pearl color. This guitar was owned and played by Jeffrey Foskett of The Beach Boys. And, as a huge fan of the band, this guitar holds a special place in my collection.
The guitar also looks great. It was definitely used quite a bit but was in good condition. After some polishing, it really looks fantastic. It has ’57 Classic Gibson pickups in it and I think it was Mr. Foskett who put the Custom truss rod cover and the Custom Made plaque on the front. The gold hardware and Bigsby tailpiece make this one look particularly flashy, too.
This was able to check two items off of the Bucket List for me- the Gibson crown headstock inlay and the case shroud (the velvet sheet that’s attached inside the case that covers the top of the instrument). Watch the video for the rest of the details and hear how it sounds!
