Please scroll down and read it be...fore placing a bid or buying from us.Blues Vintage Guitars Inc. is proudto offer this stunning 2001 Gibson ES-355 semi-hollowbody guitar! You simply don't see these too often, and this one was a custom ordered instrument (we got it from the original owner), who ordered it with a Vintage Sunburst finish. These are typically found with a Cherry or Walnut finish, and any other finish or color would have to be custom ordered. This is one such example. It has a rare arched AAA-grade flame maple top, with flame maple back and sides, solid Mahogany neck, with a 22-fret bound Ebony fingerboard with pearl block inlays.
This model has been produced sparingly over the years, with production numbers dwindling even further since 2010. As stated, this is a rare custom-ordered ES-355 with a Vintage Sunburst finish you just don't see on this model. Try and find another one like it and you'll see that you can't! We received it from its original owner, and the guitar is in 100 percent original, pristine condition, and shows only very minimal signs of play wear. Everything on the guitar functions perfectly, and we simply polished it up a little (it didn't really need it), and gave it a quick setup. Other than that, this unique Gibson model is in NEAR MINT condition and ready for a new home.
The guitar comes with its original Gibson hardshell case. We've attempted to photograph it as best as possible to show off its minimal wear and exceptionally glossy nitro finish, so please take a look at our pictures below. Everything on the guitar is completely original, so if you've been looking for one of these rare guitars then this one might be one of the nicest ones you'll ever see or find!!! You won't be disappointed.
