A refinish and re-fret of a 1978 Gibson ES-335. This guitar belongs to legendary guitarist Leroy Emmanuel. Leroy has played with some big names including Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, WAR, Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder.....and the list goes on! I've known Leroy for a number of years and I was thrilled to have a chance to work on his guitar.
