Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Every head in the shop turned when we popped this Memphis ES-355 out of its case. The gold hardware on faded cherry looks incredible and the sound is even better! The '57 classic pickups give you that vintage tone everyone chases after in a semi-hollow, and the traditional C neck is incredibly comfortable.
