From Gibson:
The new Gibson ES-355 Limited Release can be delightfully deceiving, was that our intention? We can’t say. What we can say, is that we set out to shatter all traditional expectations of the high-end appointments associated with the ES-355. The thermally engineered chambered maple centerblock and thermally engineered Adirondack spruce bracing create a lighter and more responsive instrument than ever before. The newly designed Memphis Historic Spec II (MHS II) humbucking pickups are paired with our Memphis Tone Control Premiere (MTC Premiere) wiring assembly to deliver everything from dynamic tones to biting attack. Available exclusively in a rich Graphite Metallic gloss, if you get it…you get it.
