This is a beautiful 355 built by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2006. Gibson ES-355 hollowbody guitar electrified the guitar world in the late '50s and quickly became a favorite axe for all styles of music. This modern model faithfully recreates the original body design of the ES-355, combining it with a slim-taper 1960s-style neck. The ES-355 features a maple body and a mahogany neck with pearloid block inlays. Add vintage-toned '57 Classic humbuckers, and you have a guitar that's both a stunning instrument and a piece of music history. There are few other guitars that match the Gibson ES-355 hollowbody for sheer star power. The guitar has a small stable crack in the top on the upper horn, some wear on the gold parts and some light finish scratches. Comes with original case and COA.

'57 Classic pickups deliver vintage PAF tone

To give the ES-355 the authentic sound of a late '50s model, Gibson Custom had to pick out the perfect set of humbuckers. That's why they went with a set of '57 humbuckers. One strum, and you'll discover for yourself the truly time-tested tone you just can't get any other way. If you want great sound and classy looks, then the Gibson Custom ES-355 is right up your alley.

Archtop design captures the essence of a early electric guitar

The first ES-355s that rolled off the Gibson production line have truly achieved legendary status. In the 1960s, the chunkier, 1950s neck was replaced with a thinner neck, and the dot inlays were replaced with block inlays. Structurally, the ES-355 didn't change much from the '50s to the '60s, but the slimmer neck aided fast fretwork making it a perfect fit for the blues-inspired psychedelic rock of the '60s. The maple body coupled with the mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide the perfect balance of warmth and bite, making the ES-355 suitable for a wide variety of musical styles.

The unshakable legacy you only get from a real Gibson guitar

From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!
