This ES-355 has been fully gone through and professionally set up by our experienced technician. It is a joy to play and a fantastic performer up and down the neck. This guitar was a custom order that is factory wired mono with no varitone. Transition nut width of 1 9/16', so it is quite playable and comfortable.

Weight is 9.1 lbs. The tuners have been confirmed original along with the pots and wiring. The pickups have been replaced with T-Type pickups and the original covers have been soldered on. Originals not included. The tailpiece was switched to the ornate one pictured from a stop tail. It's possible that it was once original with the tailpiece shown, converted to a stop tail, and then converted back. We did not remove the modern Custom Made plaque to see what is underneath. The switch has been replaced with a modern one.

The bridge has been replaced along with the bridge posts. An older possibly original non-functional bridge and parts will be included.

Overall, the condition is very good. The frets have plenty of life. Moderate tarnishing on the hardware. Light dings and scratches on the body. Not a ton of checking. Light wear on the headstock. Some checking on the neck but no repairs. Light buckle wear on the back of the body.

Comes with period correct Gibson case.
