The Story

1959 ES-355 Reissue Made 2 Measure Gloss Iced Tea

This is simply a work of art, let alone a musical instrument! Here we have a Made 2 Measure 1955 ES-355 Reissue in a Gloss Iced Tea finish. The 355 is the 'Custom' of the ES-335, with an ebony board and mother of pearl block inlays, gold hardware and multi-ply binding. The burst on this one is show-stopping and the gold hardware complements the yellow center perfectly.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Paperwork
