2018 Gibson Memphis Catalog

The new Memphis beauties have arrived.

2018 Gibson Memphis Catalog

The new lineup of Gibson Memphis is made up of eight semi-hollow models. The focus is heavily set on the ES-335, the series , which accounts for six models.

The marvelous Memphis division returns for 2018 with an octet of new models, bringing back all the style and pizzazz Electric Spanish series is known and loved for. The prices range from $2,899 for the most affordable models to $5,499 for the most exclusive ones, with the average being around the $4,000 mark. Following the downsizing trends seen in Gibson`s Guitars and Acoustic divisions, Memphis`s new catalog has shed its roster down to eight models, with a heavy focus on the legendary ES-335, the series` pivotal model. Six of eight new models will have the 335 badge. Their names are ES-335 DOT 2018, ES-335 Traditional 2018, ES-335 Figured 2018, ES-335 Anchor Stud 2018, ES-335 Black Beauty, and ES-335 VOS w/Bigsby. The remaining models belong to the ES-330 and ES-275 families, respectively. Their names are ES-330 2018 and ES-275 Custom 2018. Without the further ado, let`s take a look into each model.

Gibson Memphis ES-335 DOT 2018 is the opening model of the 2018 lineup. It offers the classic DOT 335 specs infused with modern tone and playability. Both the Blue Burst and Wine Red options feature maple/poplar laminated bodies, C-shaped necks, 22-fret fingerboards w/dot inlays, and Burstbucker pickups.
