About this product

Product Information

The Gibson CS-356 electric guitar is a shining example of why Gibson guitars have long been the preferred choice of musicians such as Bob Marley, George Harrison, Lenny Kravitz, Eric Clapton, and the late B.B. King. This guitar possesses a great combination of power and style that is suitable for both professional musicians and recreational players. Gibson is a highly respected manufacturer, and you'll understand why these guitars are loved when you hear the inimitable tonality that resonates from this six-string beauty.The quality of the CS-356 begins with its construction. The model boasts a gorgeous solid maple top, and the back, block, and rim are formed from a single piece of mahogany. This combination of woods helps to give these guitars their rich, warm tone. It also makes them amenable to crafting your own distinctive sound regardless of your playing style. Country, rock, and blues all sound fantastic thanks to the full-bodied notes that ring out loud and clear from bass to treble across the entire register. Those who love to improvise unforgettable solos will love the 1960's-style slim-taper profile of the one-piece mahogany neck that permits access to the highest ranges of the fingerboard and allows for ultra-fast fretting.The Richlite fretboard has 22 frets and sports the mother-of-pearl block inlays that have become associated with many of the brand's models, including the Les Paul. Richlite is comparable to ebony but has its own distinct feel that many guitarists applaud. There are vintage Kluson tulip-style tuners, and the instrument features the use of gold hardware. If you have never owned an instrument made by the Custom Shop, this electric guitar is a great first choice as a highly versatile electric instrument for any type of musician. Next on the list of superior features are Classic 57 humbucker pickups. These pickups use Alnico II magnets and deliver an authentic reproduction of the 50's vibe. One pickup is placed at the neck and one is placed at the bridge. As you listen to the twangy tones and crisp chords that emerge from this electric guitar, you'll be reminded of true guitar legends like Chuck Berry and rocking 50's songs like "Johnny B. Goode." You can also get great feedback from your amps because these humbuckers are strong enough to handle heavier styles of music.An ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece help this model to deliver lengthy sustain, and the addition of a Bigsby B3 vibrato would make this semi-hollow body guitar one capable of producing sounds like those delivered by B.B. King's iconic Lucille. While there are any number of musical greats you could emulate with a custom guitar like this, its greatest asset is an ability to let your own creativity shine through.The scale length of the instrument is 24.75 inches and the fingerboard radius is 12 inches.
