Gibson's VOS (Vintage Original Spec) treatment gives the nitrocellulose lacquer a naturally aged patina straight out of the case, applied over the classic 3-ply maple\/poplar\/maple semi-hollow body with cream binding and purfling. At 9.08 lbs., it carries real vintage-spec heft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe mahogany neck carries a C profile (.835\" at the 1st fret, .975\" at the 12th), set into the body and topped with a Richlite fretboard bound in cream, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and a 12\" radius across 22 medium jumbo frets and the classic 24.75\" Gibson scale length. A 1.7\" bone nut leads to Grover Rotomatic tuners in gold VOS-aged hardware, and the headstock carries a split diamond mother-of-pearl inlay. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with a Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece delivers classic, subtle pitch-bend shimmer alongside the semi-hollow body's natural sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis particular example is in very good condition for a 2015 model, showing honest player wear (scratches and swirls in the VOS finish on the body, small dings and finish scuffs on the back and sides, hardware cloudiness and tarnish consistent with the aged VOS treatment, light checking and finish separation around the headstock veneer inlays, and some finish damage on the bottom of the headstock from a stand or wall hanger), the pickguard not included, and comes with the original Gibson hardshell case. Whether you're a blues or jazz player who wants a top-tier semi-hollow ES with Bigsby shimmer, a tone-chaser drawn to the '57 Classic humbuckers' vintage PAF character, or a collector interested in Gibson Memphis's VOS aging process, this ES-355 delivers real character and craftsmanship.
