The Gibson Chris Cornell ES-335 guitar was officially unveiled earlier this year at the star-studded “I Am The Highway: A Tribute To Chris Cornell” concert honoring Cornell’s legacy and supporting the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation and The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation , a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for this painful and debilitating genetic disorder. In partnership with the foundation and charitable causes important to Chris and his family, Gibson made a donation, in addition to offering a selection of the limited-edition Chris Cornell ES-335 signature guitars to the foundation to raise added funds.
