Gibson ES-359 Custom Shop – Ebony
The Gibson ES-359 Custom Shop is a premium semi-hollow guitar that bridges the gap between compact comfort and full-bodied Gibson tone. Finished in a striking Ebony, this example is in great condition, showing only some minor playwear consistent with light use.
Unlike its sibling, the ES-339, the ES-359 feels like a truly finished, high-end Gibson product. Where the ES-339 can sometimes feel a little underwhelming or “toy-like” in its construction, the ES-359 completely avoids that pitfall. This guitar delivers a premium playing experience, with the fit, finish, and feel you’d expect from the Gibson Custom Shop.
Features:
- Semi-hollow body with compact dimensions for comfort and playability
- Ebony finish with Custom Shop level craftsmanship
- Premium appointments and construction throughout
- Excellent tonal range – from warm jazz tones to biting blues and rock edge
Condition:
Great overall condition
- Minor playwear only – well looked after

Why We Love It:
The ES-359 offers all the tonal richness of a traditional ES-style guitar but in a smaller, more manageable body size. It’s a serious player’s guitar – resonant, responsive, and incredibly versatile. If you’ve ever felt that the ES-339 came up a little short, the ES-359 will completely change your mind. This is a proper Gibson, and it feels every bit as premium as it looks.
