Gibson
Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound
excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy,
authenticity, and attention to detail.
What
could be better than the legendary ES-335? The ES-355! The ES-355
starts with all the features that make the ES-335 iconic - the
feedback-resistant semi-hollowbody construction, the two humbucking
pickups with individual volume and tone controls, the legendary sonic
versatility and exceptional playability - and kicks it into overdrive
with an ebony fretboard that's adorned with 50s pattern mother of pearl
block inlays and 22 authentic medium jumbo frets. A split diamond
headstock inlay, multi-ply binding, and gold hardware further reinforce
the fact that the ES-355 is the top of the line ES™ model. This expertly
crafted Custom Shop rendition's attention to detail makes it an
outstanding recreation of the legendary and highly-prized 1959 ES-355. A
five latch Lifton™ case is also included.
