As the top of the Semi Hollow electric guitar Gibson Memphis line-up, the Vintage Ebony Gloss Gibson ES-355 Bigsby presents its high-quality equipment in the form of '57 Classic humbuckers and a Bigsby B-7 Vibrato gold-plated version. The classic ES construction Instrument delivers wide sounds with the coveted PAF Crunch, not least thanks to individually tuned Memphis Tone Circuit .
The most conspicuous feature of this ES-355 guitar is the Bigsby B-7 vibrato system, specially designed for electrically amplified Archtop guitars. Shimmering Vintage Vibrato sounds and organic-sounding leads are easily possible. In combination with the classic No-Wire ABR -1 bridge, this ES combines the technical versatility of the -o-matic Bigsby with the accurate and far-reaching adjustment possibilities of the traditional Tune -o-matic.
The '57 Classic Humbucker with Alnico II magnets in bridge and neck position offers the classic PAF Humbucker tone with amplified treble and central warmth. For this purpose, the coils were hand-selected according to coil body, magnets and windings in order to be able to offer an ideally matched Humbucker one.
Of course, the Gibson ES-355 Bigsby certificate Gibson Memphis of authenticity with registered serial number and signature comes from David Winters, General Manager of the Gibson Memphis Facility. In addition, this Instrument is delivered with a Gibson shaped case in a noble Tan cover.
