The Story

CS-356 Ebony 2004

This is a super-sweet looking used CS-356 with an ebony finish on the top, back, and sides - built by Gibson in 2004. The fretboard on this one is ebony, too! The gold hardware is a classy touch as always, and the slim taper neck profile and 12" radius make it a great player as well. This 356 is in excellent condition with only light pickmarks and polish swirl around the body, with the original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity included!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
