Full Description

Shinichi Ubukata signature style

Designed in collaboration with Japanese rock icon Shinichi Ubukata, this guitar reflects his unique style. The ES-355 body is crafted with 5-ply maple and features diamond-shaped F-holes for a vintage look, while the Sixties Cherry finish and custom Shinichi skull detail add personal flair. If you're a fan of his bands, Ellegarden or Nothing’s Carved in Stone, this guitar will help you capture his distinct sound.

Versatile Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers

The Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers bring a wide tonal range, from warm, jazzy cleans to biting overdriven sounds. Whether you’re strumming gentle rhythms or digging into heavier leads, these pickups respond dynamically to your playing style, giving you the flexibility to explore a variety of genres. Perfect for players who want authentic, vintage PAF tones with modern clarity.Endless tonal options with Varitone

Featuring a vintage-style 6-position Varitone rotary switch, this ES-355 offers unmatched tonal flexibility. Each Varitone setting alters the frequency response, allowing you to switch between a range of sounds without touching your amp settings. From crisp highs to thicker mids, it’s like having six guitars in one, giving you endless options for tone shaping.

Top-tier hardware for performance

Outfitted with a trio of premium components — Grover Rotomatic tuners, an ABR-1 LockTone bridge, and a Bigsby B70 vibrato — this guitar is built for reliable performance. The tuners ensure precise adjustments, the LockTone bridge enhances sustain, and the Bigsby vibrato unlocks expressive pitch control, all while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability.
