Gibson CS-336 Flamed Top (2017)

The Gibson CS-336 was first introduced at the 1996 NAMM show in Anaheim, California. The development and design of the CS-336 was intended to be a purposeful marriage between an ES-335 and a Les Paul Standard. The goal was to combine the best features of an archtop, semi-hollow and solidbody electric guitar in a meaningful way. "The best of both worlds," so to speak. Due to increased demand a high-end model of this guitar appeared from the Gibson Custom Shop in 2002 with the model name CS-336. We are pleased to offer you here a specimen of this special guitar with its very own specs: beautiful figured maple top with a captivating sunburst in Ice Tea Flame, generously chambered mahogany body with a stable center block, one-piece mahogany neck with the extremely comfortable Slim-C neck profile and a dark, exceedingly grippy rosewood fingerboard. But the most remarkable thing about the CS-336 is, of course, its incomparable sound, which results from the combination of archtop, semi-hollow and solidbody concept. And the installed '57 Classic pickups fit perfectly with the overall concept of the Gibson CS-336. The guitar is extremely resonant with a warm acoustic timbre, yet brilliant and with the necessary bite and aggressiveness you'd expect from a really good Jazz, Blues and Rock guitar. And all this without the otherwise so unpleasant feedback that can always occur with conventional semi-hollow guitars. Here the guys from the Gibson Custom Shop have done a great job again! We are happy to offer you this fantastic guitar in top condition with only minimal play marks on the first frets.
