Weight: 8lb 4oz

What could be better than the legendary ES-335? The ES-355! The ES-355 starts with all the features that make the ES-335 iconic - the feedback-resistant semi-hollowbody construction, the two humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, the legendary sonic versatility and exceptional playability - and kicks it into overdrive with an ebony fretboard that's adorned with mother of pearl block inlays and 22 authentic medium jumbo frets. A split diamond headstock inlay and multi-ply binding further reinforce the fact that the ES-355 is the top-of-the-line ES™ model. This expertly crafted Custom Shop rendition also features the fan-favorite Diamond-shaped F-holes and your choice of a Silver Sparkle Heavy Flake Gloss or Gold Sparkle Heavy Flake Gloss finish that is sure to attract attention. A brown and pink 50s-style Lifton™ hardshell case is also included.
