Gibson ES-355 Custom Shop Limited Edition 2011 VOS Antique Faded Cherry with Maestro Tailpiece, Varitone Switch and Original Hard Case.
Superb Condition – I’m struggling to find a mark on it anywhere. I would go as far to say it’s in as-new condition, only for the smallest of tarnishing to the gold on one pick up edge, and the edge of the bridge. The Maestro Vibrato tailpiece is excellent – I just think it may benefit from a small rubber washer or similar under the arm to make the arm swing slower – just personal preference and such a minor point.
I live in Ealing, West London (near the Elizabeth Line Station), but also work in Central London so could meet there also. I would prefer to personally meet up for the sale. Courier is possible but at the buyers risk.
What the Gibson store said: “The limited run Gibson ES 355 in Antique Faded Cherry with factory Maestro Vibrato Tailpiece. Gibson’s VOS treatment makes this guitar look like it just came out of 1960. With it’s factory Maestro vibrato and aged parts this guitar looks and feels just right. Get your Freddy King groove on with this one”.
