Gibson has announced its 50th Anniversary of the ES-335 Guitar celebration at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio on Monday June 30th, 2008 with legendary musician Larry Carlton and friends. The Gibson ES-335 was the world's first commercial semi-hollowbody electric guitar originally released by the musical giant in 1958. The ES in the series stands for "electric spanish" and its neither hollow nor solid, instead, a solid wood block runs through the center of itsbody but the sides are hollow sporting violin - style f-holes. Artists from around the world have succeeded in recording top charting songs and played to hundreds of thousands of fans with the ES-335 guitar. In celebration of the guitar's rich history a special one-night performance and filming will take place at Cleveland's Rock Hall.
