Chris Cornell is being honored by Gibson with a new limited-edition ES-335 tribute guitar.

The Olive Drab Satin finish guitar seen below is currently available for pre-sale and will be available worldwide through authorized Gibson dealers on September 3.

In a statement, Gibson's Cheif Merchant Officer Cesar Gueikian said, "Chris Cornell was not only one of the most iconic singer-songwriters of all time, he was a modern innovator who left a legacy that transcends music genres and generations. Chris fell in love with this guitar and it became a part of his creative expression. It's our honor to release this tribute ES-335 in his memory. Chris was a special artist and we hope that this guitar will inspire fans to find their sound, and inspiration, just like Chris did, for many years to come."
