{"product_id":"gibson-es-356-f-usa-2004","title":"Gibson Custom Shop CS-356-F - USA 2004","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"548\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eThe Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 was one of the most ambitious semi-hollow guitars ever produced by Gibson. Rather than following the traditional laminated construction of an ES-335, the CS-356 was carved from a solid block of Honduran mahogany before being chambered, creating a lighter, more resonant instrument with increased sustain while retaining the warmth and openness players expect from a semi-hollow design. The result is a guitar that comfortably bridges the gap between a Les Paul and an ES-335, offering the best characteristics of both.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"947\"\u003eBuilt in the Nashville Custom Shop in 2004, this CS-356F carries serial number CS41552 and features a beautifully figured AAA maple top over the carved mahogany body, giving it an elegant appearance that reflects its place at the top of Gibson's Custom Shop range. Slightly smaller than an ES-335, the compact body is exceptionally comfortable while remaining lively and acoustically resonant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"949\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eA pair of Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers deliver authentic PAF-inspired tones, producing warm cleans, articulate midrange, and smooth overdriven sounds with excellent note definition. The ebony fingerboard, comfortable 1960 SlimTaper neck profile, gold hardware, ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Grover tuners complete a specification that perfectly balances vintage inspiration with premium Custom Shop craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003eProduced in relatively limited numbers, the CS-356 has developed a loyal following amongst players looking for something beyond the traditional ES-335. Beautifully built, remarkably versatile, and finished to an exceptionally high standard, it remains one of Gibson's finest modern Custom Shop designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1691\" data-end=\"1710\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1732\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.75mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1757\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 22.50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"1783\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 25.0mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1785\" data-end=\"1811\"\u003eNut Width: 42.80mm (1.687\")\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 53.00mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1841\"\u003eWeight: 3.300 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"1853\"\u003eYear: 2004\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"1877\"\u003eSerial Number: CS41552\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1879\" data-end=\"1912\"\u003eModel: Gibson Custom Shop CS-356F\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1914\" data-end=\"1947\"\u003eBody Style: Chambered Semi-Hollow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1949\" data-end=\"1984\"\u003eTop: Solid Carved AAA Figured Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2022\"\u003eBody: Solid Carved Honduran Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2057\"\u003eNeck: One-Piece Honduran Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2059\" data-end=\"2091\"\u003eNeck Profile: 1960 SlimTaper \"C\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2111\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2113\" data-end=\"2144\"\u003eScale Length: 24.75\" (628.65mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2146\" data-end=\"2155\"\u003eFrets: 22\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2157\" data-end=\"2186\"\u003eInlays: Mother of Pearl Block\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2188\" data-end=\"2234\"\u003eHeadstock Inlay: Mother of Pearl Split Diamond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2295\"\u003eBinding: Multi-Ply Body \u0026amp; Headstock, Single-Ply Fingerboard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2297\" data-end=\"2323\"\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2325\" data-end=\"2343\"\u003eTailpiece: Stopbar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2388\"\u003eBridge Pickup: Gibson '57 Classic Humbucker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2390\" data-end=\"2431\"\u003eNeck Pickup: Gibson '57 Classic Humbucker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2433\" data-end=\"2473\"\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way Toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2475\" data-end=\"2500\"\u003eOutput Jack: Side Mounted\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2502\" data-end=\"2516\"\u003eHardware: Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2518\" data-end=\"2546\"\u003eTuners: Grover Kidney Button\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2548\" data-end=\"2590\"\u003eCase: Original Custom Shop Hard Shell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2592\" data-end=\"2633\"\u003eCrafted in: Nashville, Tennessee, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48270787346585,"sku":"26125","price":6495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_1af9c0a9-734f-4d5c-b499-408f07458b6c.png?v=1782957163","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/gibson-es-356-f-usa-2004","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
