Gibson Artist PROTO Shinichi Ubukata 355!

Here is one of the most interesting models to come out of the now closed Gibson Memphis factory. The seldom seen and highly desirable Gibson Shinichi Ubukata ES-355. This one is extra special as it was an Artist Prototype. The guitar has some beautiful and classic specs like the all black finish, Trini Lopez/DG-335 diamond f-holes, nickel hardware, bigsby etc. This one also features a rosewood fingerboard which is important in this era (no richlite).

The guitar is in beautiful condition with only the slightest traces of playing. It's in excellent condition. The guitar plays great and sounds excellent. The varitone switch is mono like most newer ES-355 variants. Comes with the original hardshell case, COA, and all the case candy as shown. These don't come around too often so don't snooze!
