Beautiful Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 F electric guitar. Like new, hardly played in the 3 years Ive had it. It has a stunning sunburst, figured top finish, stunning one-piece back and neck, and with a semi-hollow body which is a blend of a 335 style in a body the size of a les paul. Comes with original hard case and Certificate of Authenticity. Also, I still have the original Gibson shipping box. This is a hard to find true custom shop beauty and a wrench to let go, but time for me to send it on its way. Let me know if you have any questions!


Here is the Gibson site detail:

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. Classic Gibson Custom appointments adorn the Gibson Custom Shop’s CS-356 Figured Top model. While visually similar to Gibson Custom’s ES™ models, the CS-356 is constructed with carved and chambered solid woods, including a stunning figured maple top, for a unique sound all its own that combines elements of archtop, Les Paul™, and semi-hollowbody tones in a deceptive ES-style package. The compact body shape is well balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant. The sound is captured by a pair of ’57 Classic™ humbucking pickups. The Gibson Custom CS-356 Figured Top is the perfect pairing of figured beauty and solid tones.
