What makes this guitar special:  A magnificent, true vintage beauty with superb feel & tone.  A dynamite player with an ultra cool vibe & natural good looks, this gorgeous ES-355 Mono is a tough one to put down.  In great shape overall with moderate play wear.  Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music so she's ready to play straight out of the case. Cosmetic Condition:  Really great shape for its age with some nice light aging & moderate play wear - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some light finish wear.  The gold was removed from the hardware by the previous owner, but you can still detect light remnants of it here & there.  The celluloid pickguard has deteriorated in a couple of spots, but for the most part is still pretty solid.  Overall the guitar has a wonderful look to it with a beautiful patina.Neck:  Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding & tortoise side-dots.  Ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays.  Original frets are in great shape with some mild wear & plenty of life in them.  Multi-bound headstock with mother of pearl split diamond inlay & Gibson logo.  The original Kluson tuners were replaced with Grover Imperials, which are all in good working condition.  1 9/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight & truss rod is functioning.Body:  Double-cutaway, semi-hollow maple body.  7-ply bound top with dual F-holes.  Maestro tremolo tailpiece with Gibson & lyre engravings.  Period-correct ABR-1 bridge with adjustable saddles.  Tortoise pickguard with 5-ply binding & 3-ply bound back.  Guitar weighs 8 lbs 13 oz.Pickups:  Original Gibson Pat No. humbuckers with black bezels.  Bridge - 7.28K ohms; Neck - 7.32K ohms.  Dual volume & tone controls with black "top hat" knobs; 3-way toggle switch.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.Case:  Unoriginal hardshell case included.  The case is actually a '60s Epiphone hardshell case, perhaps for a Sheraton or Riviera.
