It was manufactured in 2023.\u003cbr\u003e Don't miss out on this rare model with its gorgeous and extravagant look!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The ES-355, a captivating model beloved by top musicians!\u003cbr\u003e The ES-355 was released as an upgraded version of the ES-335.\u003cbr\u003e The \"ES\" series follows the same lineup structure as Gibson's Solid Series, and this particular model is positioned as an upgraded \"Custom\" model, similar to the Les Paul, and is characterized by its adoption of specifications unique to the \"Custom\" series. With large multi-ply cell binding adorned with split diamond inlays and the use of gold hardware, it possesses the luxuriousness befitting a higher-end model, and exudes an overwhelmingly substantial and high-class feel compared to the regular ES series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This time, we have a superb pre-owned guitar from the Gibson Custom Shop in stock!\u003cbr\u003e Without a Variton SW and using a mono assembly, it's ready to take to the stage right away!\u003cbr\u003e The bridge is not a Bigsby B-7, but a stop tailpiece. Gold hardware adds a touch of luxury! The weight is approximately 3.95 kg. The balance allows you to enjoy a solid, focused sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The neck features a now-rare ebony fingerboard. The ebony fingerboard used on the 355 produces a sharper and tighter sound than the 335, creating a masculine tone with good clarity even at high gain without the sound becoming too muddy! The excellent fretwork, a hallmark of the Nashville factory, enhances playability. The neck shape, neither too thin nor too thick, linearly receives the rich resonance of the body, and features block position markers. It is equipped with Grover Select tuners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The pickups are Custombucker Alnico III. By eliminating potting from the entire coil section and base plate, and equipping them with newly installed bumblebee-type paper-oil capacitors and 500K CTS pots that pursue a vintage curve, a more \"raw\" texture and vintage-feeling sound have been achieved.\u003cbr\u003e The sharper, more responsive picking than ever before will magically captivate players with the ES-335 tone from the moment they plug their guitar into the amp.\u003cbr\u003e Not only does it offer excellent clarity when the tone is rolled off, but its controllable assembly maintains a good level of brightness even when the volume is turned down, making it a great match for modern usage! The tone volume has a gradual response, allowing you to create a wide range of tones with just a flick of your finger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like the ES-335, the 355 is a guitar that combines a bluesy and mature feel, but in reality, it's a versatile and versatile guitar that can handle clean and crunch tones as well as high-gain distortion with ease. It features a comfortable yet solid neck shape that linearly receives the rich body resonance, block position markers, and Grover Select tuners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We've just received a recommended used item! It's a 2023 model.\u003cbr\u003e There are some dents on the headstock where the wood is visible, slight peeling of the plating on the rear pickup cover, and scratches on the front pickup cover, but none of these affect playability or cause any problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Other than some minor scratches, scuffs on the pickguard, and tarnishing on the gold hardware, this guitar is in generally good condition! There are no issues or problems affecting its playability.\u003cbr\u003e This item has undergone full maintenance and cleaning at our shop, so it is ready to use immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets are in good working order and have almost all of their life remaining.
