60s ES-355 Reissue Maestro Vibrola, Light Aged, Ebony
The King of the ES Models, Artfully Aged by the Murphy Lab 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. What could be better than the legendary ES-335? The ES-355! The ES-355 starts with all the features that make the ES-335 iconic - the feedback-resistant semi-hollowbody construction, the two humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, the legendary sonic versatility and exceptional playability - and kicks it into overdrive with an ebony fretboard that's adorned with 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. This expertly crafted Custom Shop rendition also features a Maestro™ Vibrola™ and light aging from the artisans at the Murphy Lab. A black and yellow 60s-style hardshell case is also included.
