The Story

CS-356 Ebony

This is a super-sweet looking used CS-356 with an ebony finish on the top, back, and sides. 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.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
