The King of the ES Models, Now With Diamond F-Holes
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 and multi-ply binding further reinforce the fact that the ES-355 is the top-of-the-line ES™ model. This expertly crafted Custom Shop rendition also features the fan-favorite Diamond-shaped F-holes and your choice of a Silver Sparkle Heavy Flake Gloss or Gold Sparkle Heavy Flake Gloss finish that is sure to attract attention. A brown and pink 50s-style Lifton™ hardshell case is also included.
