The Story

Memphis ES-355 Bigsby Antique Faded Cherry 2017

The original "Custom" version of the 335, this is a Gibson Memphis ES-355, packed with top shelf features including gold hardware, a dark richlite board, block inlays, a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece, and a bound headstock with split diamond inlays. At it's heart it is still a classic thinline semi-hollowbody electric guitar loaded with dual '57 Classic humbuckers ideal for multiple genres. This lightly used example is finished in Antique Faded Cherry. It is very clean and in great shape, although the A and G tuners are very slightly bent (it does not affect tuning), and it does show some light wear. It includes the original case.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
