CS-356 Figured Top

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail. Classic Gibson Custom appointments adorn the Gibson Custom Shop’s CS-356 Figured Top model. While visually similar to Gibson Custom’s ES™ models, the CS-356 is constructed with carved and chambered solid woods, including a stunning figured maple top, for a unique sound all its own that combines elements of archtop, Les Paul™, and semi-hollowbody tones in a deceptive ES-style package. The compact body shape is well balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant. The sound is captured by a pair of ’57 Classic™ humbucking pickups. The Gibson Custom CS-356 Figured Top is the perfect pairing of figured beauty and solid tones.
