Gibson Custom Shop Gary Clark Jr. ES-355 VOS Cobra Burst Limited Edition

Gary Clark Jr. ES-355 VOS Cobra Burst Limited Edition Item Description

Introducing the new Gibson Custom Shop Gary Clark Jr. Signature ES-355 VOS in Cobra Burst, a limited edition model of which only 100 instruments are made!

Inspired by the moment he first saw B.B. King wielding one on stage, Clark’s ES-355 has become his new number-one guitar. The Gary Clark Jr. ES-355 features a three-ply maple/poplar/maple body with a figured maple outer layer, a mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile, and a bound ebony fretboard equipped with 22 Historic medium jumbo frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. The body has multi-ply top and back binding, and the headstock is also multi-ply bound and features the Custom split diamond inlay in mother-of-pearl and is equipped with Grover® Rotomatic® with Kidney button tuners.

The Gary Clark Jr. ES-355 is powered by a pair of unpotted Custombucker pickups with Alnico 3 magnets that are wired to CTS® audio taper potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, along with a Switchcraft® three-way toggle switch and 1/4” output jack. The volume and tone controls are topped with black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and equipped with dial pointers. A mono Varitone control with a black chicken head knob provides even more tonal versatility. The hardware is VOS nickel, including the ABR-1 Historic no-wire bridge, and the guitar is finished in a striking VOS Cobra Burst finish. A Bigsby® B7 Vibrato adds additional expressiveness. The included Gibson Custom hardshell case has a brown exterior, black plush interior, and Gary Clark Jr. graphics on the exterior.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
