This guitar is a 1981 Blonde Gibson ES-335 Dot Neck Reissue, serial #82321029.  Scotty traded Buck Sulcer of Guitar Network in Maryland for this in the early '90s.  It was given to Kevin Woods who plays with Ronnie McDowell as a gift from Scotty Moore in December of 1994. He gigs with Scotty from time to time and has become good friends over the years. Kevin got him to sign it a couple of years ago and to sign a letter of authentication.  According to a close friend of Scotty's, this is the only guitar that he has ever given away.
