Manufacturer's Description 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

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
