Bill Nelson ES 335?

I wonder why Gibson have never produced a Bill Nelson, of Be-bop Deluxe fame signature 335? (at least I think it's a 335, but it has rather strange fret board inlays). I know the front cover of their album Sunburst Finish showing a naked girl brandishing a 335 over her head certainly influenced me in my youth! I do think Bill's an under rated guitar player.

345 Ian........HUGE HUGE fan of Nelson....seen him many times with Be Bop,Red Noise and solo......big influence on my playing.

 

Hates the industry....hence seldom seen.

Paul, presumably a 345 is mid way between a 335 and a 355? Anyway, I still think Bill deserves a signature model!

I agree! Love Bebop Deluxe. Have all of their albums from the 70's AND saw them in concert in Detroit.
