Description

This preowned Gibson CS-356 is in good condition, with original case and paperwork. This was a limited edition model from 2003, only 30 ever made. It was owned by a long-time, regular customer who has sadly passed away, and we are helping his widow sell off his collection. As such, we aren’t entertaining any trades on this item. From Gibson: "The Intersection of Beauty and Brawn 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. Classic Gibson Custom appointments adorn the Gibson Custom Shop’s CS-356 model. While visually similar to Gibson Custom’s ES™ models, the CS-356 is constructed with carved and chambered solid woods for a unique sound all its own that combines elements of archtop, Les Paul™, and semi-hollowbody tones in a deceptive ES-style package. The compact body shape is well balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant. The sound is captured by a pair of ’57 Classic™ humbucking pickups. In both beauty and brawn, the Gibson Custom CS-356 reigns supreme."
