Gibson USA Custom Shop CS 356 goldtop

Gibson USA custom shop CS 356 semi acoustic or semi hollowbody archtop electric guitar. This guitar was bought new in Orlando FL in 2011 at George's Music, I picked it from the store owners exclusive show room reserved for the higher end guitars. I am not exactly sure of the date of manufacture, but was told at time of purchase that it was most likely in 2009, and that is what the CS Serial # indicates. The CS 356 is a basically slimmed down more comfortable ES 335, Gibson Catalogs list it as an upscale ES 336? The CS 356 guitar is goldtop and I not sure how many were made with the goldtop. The CS 356 has gold hardware, except for the tuners and with binding on the body/neck and headstock. This USA custom shop CS 356 has an ebony fretboard with the block inlays and with 22 frets, Gibson Classic 57 pickups and Gibson Deluxe tuners. The neck is one piece mahogany Slim Taper 24.75" scale and it has a maple wood center block. This Gibson USA custom shop guitar has basically sat in its case since I bought it, and the guitar is like new in very good to be more accurate very excellent condition. There are no dents or dings or any defects at all on this guitar, and I have been the sole owner of the guitar since 2011. The guitar plays great very easy in the few limited times I have played on it. The neck has a thinner medium thick feel to it and is perfect and straight with the same original Gibson USA custom shop factory set up on the guitar as when I bought it new in 2011. The guitar will be well packed with bubble wrap around the headstock and as needed elsewhere, and shipped in its original HSC and boxed with a heavy duty guitar shipping box. The guitar will be insured for the full value of the final sale price. I may have the original Gibson box for the shipping of this guitar, I will have to check in my storage as I have dozens of different guitar boxes in my storage. Shipping through FedEx or UPS regular ground.
