Gibson ES-355 Memphis Figured Natural, USED

The Gibson ES-355 Memphis Figured Natural is a luxurious, high-end semi-hollow body guitar, renowned for its blend of vintage style and modern playability. Crafted in Gibson’s Memphis factory, this model showcases the iconic ES-355 design with the added visual flair of a stunning figured maple top, back, and sides. The natural finish highlights the beautiful grain patterns of the wood, giving the guitar an elegant, timeless appearance. As a premium version of the legendary ES series, the ES-355 Memphis combines aesthetics and tone, making it a favourite for players seeking sophistication in both sound and looks.

Tonally, the ES-355 delivers the rich, warm resonance characteristic of semi-hollow body guitars, while still providing the articulation and clarity needed for more complex playing styles. The body’s maple construction offers a bright, punchy attack, complemented by a centre block that reduces feedback while enhancing sustain. The guitar is equipped with a pair of Gibson’s MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) humbuckers, which are designed to emulate the classic PAF pickups from the late '50s. These pickups produce a balanced tone with crisp highs, warm mids, and a deep, responsive low end, making it versatile enough for jazz, blues, rock, and more.

The neck is crafted from mahogany and features a comfortable “C” profile, which makes it smooth and fast to play across all 22 frets of the rosewood fingerboard. The neck’s classic 24.75” scale length and the fingerboard’s medium jumbo frets ensure a familiar feel for players accustomed to Gibson’s playability. Mother-of-pearl block inlays add to the guitar’s vintage charm, while the rolled binding on the fingerboard ensures a smooth playing experience.

The ES-355 Memphis Figured Natural comes with high-quality hardware, including a gold-plated ABR-1 bridge with a stopbar tailpiece for rock-solid tuning stability and enhanced sustain. The guitar also features Grover tuners, which ensure precise tuning adjustments. With its elegant appearance, exceptional tonal versatility, and luxurious feel, the Gibson ES-355 Memphis Figured Natural is a perfect blend of craftsmanship and performance, designed for players who appreciate the finest details in both sound and style.
