The Story

Used 2016 CS-356 Electric Guitar Ebony with Bigsby Tailpiece

Here's a semi-hollow with style! A pre-owned and only lightly played Custom Shop CS-356 with an ebony finish and topped off with gold hardware and a Bigsby tailpiece for adding vibrato to your sound. 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 guitar includes the original case and certificate of authenticity.

Ever since 1958, when Gibson introduced the first semi-hollowbody electric guitar, the timeless ES-335, the company’s engineers have been fine-tuning the concept of combining the classic look of a hollowbody with the performance of a solidbody. The CS-356 achieves that goal. It features a single piece mahogany body that is tonally carved to include the back, rims and center block from one piece of wood.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
