Gibson Custom Limited 60 ES-355 Figured Antique Blonde Light Aged A960524

The Gibson Custom Limited 1960 ES-355 Reissue Figured Antique Blonde Light Aged represents the pinnacle of Gibson's semi-hollowbody craftsmanship. Part of Gibson Custom's Limited Edition Collection, this extraordinary instrument combines the upscale elegance of the ES-355 with a beautifully figured maple laminate body and the meticulous aging expertise of the Murphy Lab. Finished in stunning Antique Blonde, this limited-edition reissue captures the refined character, premium appointments, and versatile tonal palette that established the ES-355 as Gibson's flagship semi-hollowbody during the early 1960s.

Constructed from figured maple, poplar, and maple laminates surrounding a solid maple center block, the ES-355 delivers exceptional sustain, articulate note definition, and excellent feedback resistance while preserving the airy resonance that makes semi-hollowbody guitars so inspiring to play. The Murphy Lab Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish provides subtle lacquer checking, softened edges, and the feel of a carefully preserved vintage original without excessive wear.

The one-piece mahogany neck features the fast-playing Authentic 1961 profile and is paired with an ebony fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. Reissue medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius offer effortless playability across the entire fretboard. A matched set of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups delivers the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response of late-'50s and early-'60s Gibson humbuckers, making this instrument equally at home with jazz, blues, rock, and beyond.
