Chuck Brown's Gear

Hide incorrect submissions

Gifted to the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum by Brown in 1983, as documented on the Smithsonian website.

This Gibson ES-335-DOT guitar belonged to Charles “Chuck” Brown (1936-2012), known as the “Godfather of Go-Go” for fusing rhythm and blues, Latin jazz, and funk into Washington, DC’s syncopated signature sound. The six-string, semi-acoustic guitar has a light brown maple body, while inlaid mother-of-pearl dots its darker rosewood neck. A Custom Shop Edition of Gibson’s Electric Spanish (ES) series, its plastic volume and tone controls complement the golden hued maple in contrast with silvery steel pickups, bridge, and tuning pegs.
