2006 Gibson Custom Shop CS-356

Summary: This 2006 Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 was made with African ebony fretboards and high-grade Honduran Mahogany. The 5A fiddleback flamed maple top is stunning from every angle and shimmers when turned into the light. This beautiful instrument has a factory Bigsby tremolo, and the sound falls somewhere in between a Les Paul, ES-335 and a Florentine. It really is the best of all worlds.
