Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 Figured Top Cherry 2010'

This is a 2010 Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 Figured Top Cherry, a premium semi-hollow electric guitar crafted by Gibson Custom Shop.

The CS-356 combines the classic semi-hollow design of the ES-335 with a more compact body, offering a distinctive playing experience and tonal character compared to traditional Les Paul-style solid-body guitars.

Based on the CS-336, the CS-356 features upgraded appointments, including a beautifully figured maple top, ebony fingerboard, block inlays, and gold hardware.

Unlike the traditional laminated construction of the ES-335, the CS-356 features a carved mahogany back and sides, with the internal chambers routed from the solid mahogany body and capped with a carved maple top.

This unique construction is designed to combine the clarity and articulate attack of a solid-body guitar with the warmth, resonance, and rich tonal character of a semi-hollow instrument.

The transparent Cherry finish beautifully highlights the striking flame maple figuring, while the gold hardware, ebony fingerboard, and elegant block inlays create a sophisticated appearance that reflects the craftsmanship of Gibson Custom Shop.

The headstock features the distinctive Split Diamond inlay, further distinguishing the CS-356 from the standard CS-336.

With its compact body and double-cutaway design, the CS-356 offers excellent playing comfort and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles, including blues, jazz, classic rock, and fusion.

Manufactured in 2010, this guitar is in good overall condition, with a small dent on the back of the body.

The original Gibson Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and Gibson hard case are included.
