2025 Gibson Custom Shop ES-355 M2M VOS Keith Richards Style

For your consideration is a 2025 Gibson Custom Shop ES-355 M2M VOS that is Keith Richards Inspired.

This is not the official signature model.

I just received this guitar in the past week, brand new from the dealer. However, I need to raise some funds and hence have a handful of guitars up for sale. This is the most recent one to arrive, so it’s being listed, too.

It stood out to me because I’m not a fan of relic’d guitars, so while the new Keith signature model is super cool, I liked the idea of a VOS finish rather than a relic. Also, this one has a ‘59 Authentic Medium C profile, rather than the slimmer neck that Keith’s ‘60 has. Lastly, it’s not $30K or $50K! I’m not 100% sure Gibson will allow more orders of these M2M models now that the Keith model has been released.

If you are super scrutinous, I did notice this guitar has some visible "seam lines" near the binding in two places. I've taken photos of these areas. I think this is common with black Gibson guitars with nitro finishes... but I always want to be transparent, so they are there.

If I can sell 1-2 other guitars, I would like to keep this one, but with the official Keith model getting lots of attention right now, I have to let this one go if it is the first to sell. 

Here are some specs: 

• Weight: 8 lbs, 13 oz
• Finish: VOS
• Pickups: A3 Custombuckers Unpotted
• Frets: R9 style
• Neck Profile: ‘59 Authentic Medium C
• Neck thickness: 0.91 to 1.00 (1st to 12th)

Please let me know if you have any questions. Also for sale at TheGearPage, so the listing may end at any time. Thank you for looking.
