There are certain guitars that stand the test of time and with its timeless design, effortless playability and rich history, it's easy to see why so many Gibson designs remain so popular. One model that maybe doesn’t get quite as much love as its more illustrious siblings is the ES-355. For 2018, the Gibson Custom Shop have taken this vintage gem and delivered a limited release stunner.
The 3ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body combination provides an authentic and rich tone, with a modern weight relieved Maple centre block; it's super comfortable and well balanced. Finished in the vintage inspired Antique Walnut VOS nitrocellulose finish you get a sweet, organic sound. This thin lacquer will wear beautifully over time, just like the original models.
The neck is something special, crafted from quarter-sawn Mahogany; it features a gorgeous bound Dark Rosewood fingerboard, embellished with Mother of Pearl Full Block inlays. With a rounded C profile, 22 medium jumbo frets, a 12" radius and 24.75" scale length, this is a serious player's guitar.
A pair of Memphis Historic Spec humbuckers delivers those classic tones, deep, rich and resonant they offer great clarity. These PAF style pickups are slightly underwound and feature unbalanced coils for a truly historic sound. Hand wired with matched 550k pots, Orange Drop capacitors and a new mono varitone switch, this guitar is an unfiltered tone machine, and with a Maestro Tremolo system, you can add some lush textures to your playing without compromising on tuning stability or intonation.
With a hardcase and COA, this guitar is vintage in all aspects but age!
