This is a 1996 Gibson "Lucille" ES-355 in original hardshell case. This guitar is in very good condition for a 30 year old instrument. Slight fret wear, but still very playable. All electronics work as they should. 6 position vari-tone circuit gives you 6 eq presets. The #1 position takes the vari-tone out, and acts like a stock ES-355. Great sounding pickups.
