The ES-355 represents the pinnacle of Gibson's semi-hollow guitar craftsmanship, building upon the legendary foundation of the ES-335 with premium appointments that set it apart as the flagship model. This exceptional instrument retains all the iconic features that made the ES-335 famous - the feedback-resistant semi-hollowbody construction, dual humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, and the remarkable sonic versatility that has made it a studio and stage favourite for decades.
What distinguishes the ES-355 from its renowned sibling is the attention to luxury detail throughout. The ebony fretboard features stunning 50s pattern mother of pearl block inlays across 22 authentic medium jumbo frets, while the split diamond headstock inlay adds an unmistakable touch of elegance. Multi-ply binding and gold hardware complete the premium aesthetic, reinforcing the ES-355's position as the top-tier ES™ model.
This Custom Shop rendition showcases meticulous craftsmanship in recreating the highly-prized 1959 ES-355, with expert attention to authentic period details. The guitar comes complete with a five latch Lifton™ case, ensuring your investment is properly protected.
