One of the enduring images of 1969's Woodstock Festival is of Alvin Lee blasting out the solo section of 'Going Home' on his 1959 ES-335 (which Lee nicknamed Big Red). The Custom Shop has lovingly recreated Big Red, including the stickers and artwork found on the body of the original, the added 3rd pickup, custom pickguard, and the replacement '60s block inlay neck.
