From Gibson Guitars

1958 saw the release of the semi-hollow ES-335 and its more elegant sibling, the es-355. In 2001, the Custom Shop introduced the CS-336, a guitar whose warm, woody sound, scaled down body size, and tonally carved back, sides, and centerblock are the perfect combination of comfort and tone. With the introduction of the CS-356, a guitar with the same unique construction and tone as the 336 but with an extended array of upscale appointments, the Custom Shop has created a fitting big brother for the CS-336
