Gibson created another Marcus King guitar based on his family ES-345 called Big Red. The new model looks like the 2019 Custom Shop version but costs less money. King fixed the vibrato arm to help guitars stay in tune better. The company removed the six-position switch to make the guitar simpler.
King keeps his grandfather's original guitar at home because it means everything to him. He takes the signature model on tour instead of risking damage to Big Red. The guitar uses two Custombucker pickups with Orange Drop parts inside. Gibson built the body from maple and poplar wood with cream binding around the edges.
The neck feels rounded and comfortable for most players to hold. Gibson used mahogany wood and glued it to the guitar body. The fingerboard has split diamond shapes made from acrylic material. The new guitar sells for 3999 dollars and comes with a hard case.
