Overview

A beautiful koa wood top edition of a truly modern classic.

The Gibson Custom Shop CS-356 is a guitar whose warm, woody sound, scaled down body size, and tonally carved back, sides, and centerblock are the perfect combination of comfort and tone. The CS-356 is a guitar with the same unique construction and tone as the 336 but with an extended array of upscale appointments such as an ebony fingerboard, block pearl inlays, gold hardware, and multi-ply binding.
