    Austin-born guitarist, singer, and songwriter Gary Clark Jr. has carved out a unique space in modern music, blending blues, rock, soul, and hip hop into a sound that’s unmistakably his own. A four-time GRAMMY Award winner celebrated for his electrifying live shows, Clark is widely regarded as one of the most influential players of his era. His previous Gibson and Epiphone signature models—an SG and a Casino—each reflected elements of his style. Now, Gibson Custom, working closely with Gary Clark Jr., proudly introduces the Gary Clark Jr. Custom ES-355. Inspired by the first time he saw B.B. King perform with one, this ES-355 has become Clark’s go-to guitar.
