Exceptional Guitars

Ever since 1958 when Gibson introduced the first semi-hollow body electric guitar - the timeless ES-335 - the company's engineers have been fine-tuning the concept of combining the classic look of a hollow body with the performance of a solid body. Debuting in 2001, the CS-336 is the ultimate result of that quest and it is a true Gibson Custom Shop beauty.

FEATURES
The overall body size is an ultra-comfortable 13-inches wide, 16 inches long and 1 11/16th-inches deep. The CS-336 has two Gibson '57 Classic humbucking pickups along with the historic Gibson two tone pot, two volume pot, one three-way selector switch control configuration and an ABR-1 bridge. The hardware is nickel and the body's top and back have a stylish single-ply binding...classic touches, although the Gibson CS-336 is sonically and ergonomically state of the art. Another factor in the CS-336's gorgeous sustain is its one-piece mahogany neck supporting a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays, designed to a vintage, 1960 taper neck profile.

Its scale length is a comfortable 24 inches with a 1 11/16th-inch wide nut. The headstock is complimented by a set of vintage style tulip tuners. Figured finishes are available in vintage sunburst, faded cherry, tangerine burst and trans amber. These shades are also available in plain top models, along with ebony which is a plain-top only finish.

The CS-336 also comes with Gibson Brite Wire .010 strings, a Custom Shop case and certificate of authenticity.
