The Story

Limited Edition Memphis ES-355 Black Beauty Ebony

This Gibson Memphis ES-355 Black Beauty is only being made in extremely limited quantities, so grab it before it's gone! You've seen plenty of 3 pickup Black Beauty Les Paul Customs, but now it's time to add the semi-hollow flavored 355 to your collection! This ES-355 boasts a trio of Custom Shop MHS humbuckers, so you can coax out endless tones. Other standard features include the 3 ply maple/poplar/maple body, "Rounded C" quartersawn mahogany neck with rolled binding, a rosewood fingerboard with pearl full block inlays, modified MTC Premiere electronics, an ABR-1 bridge with aluminum stoptail, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and of course, all gold hardware!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
