The Gibson Custom CS356 was the top level version of the Gibson Custom CS336, and was built from 2002 to 2008. Like the CS-336, it was based on a carved Solid Figured Maple top on a chambered single-piece block of Mahogany, routed out to provide the sides, back, center block and tone chambers.
Based on its 5-digit serial number with an 8 as its first digit, this example dates to 2008 and as such would be one of the last built. It has very little wear, and is in great condition with only a few minor bumps.
Here’s the builder describing the Gibson Custom CS356, on a still-available Legacy page:
“Classic, Gibson Custom appointments adorn these limited edition CS-356 model guitars, each featuring carved and chambered solid woods for the deepest archtop tones in a deceptive ES-style package. The compact body shape is well-balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant, amplified by a pair of singing ’57 Classic humbuckers. In both beauty and brawn, these Gibson Custom CS-356 guitars reign supreme. “
This Gibson Custom CS356 is sold with its original hard shell case.
