Guitar Additional Info


Description
Classic, Gibson Custom appointments adorn these limited edition CS-356 model guitars, each featuring carved and chambered solid woods for the deepest archtop tones in a deceptive ES-style package.

The compact body shape is well-balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant, amplified by a pair of singing '57 Classic humbuckers.

In both beauty and brawn, these Gibson Custom CS-356 guitars reign supreme.
Elegant ES-355 appointments, set off by the classic Classic White finish and Bigsby vibrato.

Bound Richlite fingerboard with large block MOP inlays, PAF-style 57 Classic humbuckers.
