The New Artist Series Marcus King ES-345

We’re proud to call Marcus King a dear friend, and are thrilled to feature Gibson’s brand new Marcus King ES-345 Sixties Cherry model!

Marcus is a Grammy-nominated guitarist, singer, and songwriter known for his fiery blend of blues, soul, and Southern rock. A prodigy raised in a family of musicians, he’s earned acclaim for his powerful voice, virtuosic playing, and deeply emotive songwriting that channels both vintage tone and modern energy.

Previously only available as a limited Custom Shop model, the new Artist Series Marcus King ES-345 is inspired by his main guitar, a 1962 ES-345 that was handed down to him by his family. This modern version captures the look and vibe of his original, with only the features that Marcus finds essential, including mono wiring, a pair of Custombucker humbucker™ pickups, a fixed Vibrola™ tailpiece for improved tuning stability, and a stud anchor cover customized specifically for Marcus King.

We’re fortunate to have Marcus as a guest in our showroom regularly, and his demos are constantly at the top of our most viewed videos on your YouTube channel!
