Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 Semi-Hollowbody, Ebony

A beautiful design meets a fantastic quality craftsmanship — the stunning Custom Shop Gibson CS-356 semi-hollowbody shows off the pinnacle of Gibson sound excellence, showing off authentic appointments that will steal the show at any stage you demand. Colored in a gorgeous Ebony gloss nitro lacquer finish, complete with elegant gold hardware and a CS-356 bound tortoise pickguard.

While visually similar to Gibson Custom's ES models, the CS-356 is constructed with carved and chambered solid woods, including a spectacular plain maple top, 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 mahogany body shape is well balanced, and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant, and rounded-off by the mahogany slim C-profile neck home to a smooth ebony fingerboard for ultimate playability.

The sound is captured by a pair of '57 Classic humbucking pickups, which are shaped by two volume and two tone controls, along with a three-way toggle switch for a wide plethora of authentic Gibson tones. The ABR-1 bridge with a two-piece stopbar tailpiece keeps your stability well-rounded so you never have to worry about your tuning or tonality.
