Gibson ES 325

Recently got my hands on a copy of the new Kings of Leon DVD "Live at the O2 London"

The O2 gig (tight performance but some what lacking in personality from the band and interaction with the crowd) aside I have rekindled my love for the Gibson semi-hollow body guitars after seeing Caleb's very nice walnut ES 325. These guitars can be hard to find given Gibson only manufactured them from 1972-79 and they are quite different in construction and sound to the more well known and readily available ES 335.
It was surprising to hear that Caleb recently smashed his no#1 guitar after all these years during the T in the Park Festival. He obviously regretted his actions having since sent it back to Gibson for repair. Checkout the repair job some amazing photo's. here
