Description

Unleash your inner rock legend with the Gibson ES-355 Varitone w/ Maestro Tremolo, a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that blends timeless design with modern performance. Crafted with a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body, this guitar delivers a bright, vibrant tone that resonates with every strum. The mahogany neck, adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, offers a comfortable playability thanks to its Rounded "C" profile, making it perfect for versatile musical styles.

At the heart of the ES-355's sound are the vintage-toned MHS humbuckers, meticulously designed to capture the authentic sound of the late '50s PAFs. These pickups provide a rich blend of top-end clarity and midrange punch, ensuring your sound stands out in any mix. And for those who crave classic vibrato effects, the Maestro tremolo tailpiece offers subtle pitch shifts that are a nod to the vintage Gibson aesthetics and performance.

Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the ES-355 Varitone w/ Maestro Tremolo offers not just exceptional sound but also an undeniable visual appeal with its sleek gold hardware. It's more than just an instrument; it's a piece of music history, ready to inspire your next masterpiece.
