USED GIBSON MEMPHIS / 1959 ES-355 Stoptail Antique Ebony [20]

A 1959 ES-355 with a stop-tail design.
The cutaway shape, which defines its first impression, features the “Mickey Mouse Ears” design typical of the ’59 model.
The multiple layers of celluloid binding, characteristic of the 355, give it a truly distinctive presence.
Its most distinctive feature, the ebony finish, combined with the gleaming split diamond inlays on the headstock and block position marks, creates a rich, luxurious feel.
It is equipped with a ’57 Classic pickup.

The certificate of authenticity is missing, and the neck has been repaired after a break.
There is faint weather checking on the headstock and body, and the parts show some dullness and fine rust spots.
