2005 Gibson Custom Shop CS-336

For your consideration, Garrett Park Music presents this 2005 Gibson Custom Shop CS-336.

Gibson Les Paul. The CS-336 is distinguished by being "tonally carved"—the back, sides, and center block are carved from a single solid block of mahogany, rather than being laminated like a traditional ES-335.

 This example from 2005 is in great shape with a bit of player wear on the body and headstock which, fortunately, doesn't impact the excellent playability of this guitar. There is also a minor cloudy streak by the left f-hole which is invisible outside of direct light. The tuners were swapped out for Grover locking tuners, though the originals are still available in the case and can be re-installed with compensated bushings. The pickguard bracket was also replaced at one point with a missing acorn nut, though the guard is securely installed. Despite its quirks, this 336 is a fantastic player with superb tonality. The solid-contruction mahogany back + sides offer superb sustain and resonance in a lightweight package coming in at 6lb 15oz, while the dual PAF humbuckers deliver all of the classic tonality Gibsons are known for. The neck profile is a masterfully carved C-shape that sits between a medium and slim profile for maximum comfort without sacrificing playability, and is topped with a lush strip of rosewood. Light and airy, yet articulate and authoritative, this CS-336 is sure to find a sweet spot in your arsenal. Includes the original hardshell case and Gibson tuners.
