Ask any Gibson electric aficionado what year is the most special to the brand, the answer will most likely be: 1959. The main drive is for the comfortable neck shape and the PAF humbuckers. In 1959, the ES, Electric Spanish, semi-hollowbody guitar models were in their infancy. At the top of the heap was the 355. Compared to the more well-known 335 model, the 355 received the higher-end gold hardware, binding, and inlay work. It was also paired with the state of the art stereo varitone system; which was often disengaged by players for slight weight relief or were not aware that "1" was a disengage position. This ES-355 is a survivor in that it retains its stereo function and has its factory installed Bigsby (and not have been modified for a stop tail). Varitone systems are a fun way to play around with the sound of your installed pickups beyond just rolling a tone knob off. This one has PAFs, so you know it's already on the right track for the tone journey.
Comes with original hardshell pink-lined Lifton case.
