Product Description
The Gibson Custom Shop is the prime example of world class 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 guitar is made with a semi-hollow body construction made from 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple, which makes the guitar highly resonant. The two humbucking pickups are Custombucker Alnico 3`s with individual volume and tone controls. Enjoy 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.
