The Intersection of Beauty and Brawn

Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates ‘s legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.Classic Custom appointments adorn the Custom Shops CS-356 model. While visually similar to Customs ES models, the CS-356 is constructed with carved and chambered solid woods for a unique sound all its own that combines elements of archtop, Les Paul, and semi-hollowbody tones in a deceptive ES-style package. The compact body shape is well balanced and resists feedback while remaining extremely resonant. The sound is captured by a pair of 57 Classic humbucking pickups. In both beauty and brawn, the Custom CS-356 reigns supreme.
