[WANTED Epiphone ES 355 cherry red]

Good luck! I search my Gibson ES-355 (Antigue Cherry Red) with Maestro for years.

[What Comes With A NEW Epiphone Guitar.]

About month ago I bought an Epiphone Ltd. Ed. Slash Les Paul Standard PRO Premium Outfit with full price.

On a day when I bought it, at home I looked at the guitar from the Epiphone's Internet page and find out that the guitar was missing a Slash guitar strap. I asked from the dealer about it and they contacted to the distributor. Today I got answer - they can't deliver a Slash guitar strap to me, because there aren't any spares. A little disappointment, that my guitar isn't complite collector's Edition, but I can't give this guitar away either. The guitar itself is a keeper. I have a little bit mixed feelings right now what I should think about my purchase...

[Question about Gibson ES-355]

I think if I walked into the room with those guitars at night with no lights on, they would be glowing with awesomeness.

 

 

I was thinking where that light comes at night...

 

Thanks guys for kind comments!

[Question about Gibson ES-355]

As far as I know, all ES-355s made after 1982 are "limited editions" made as small lot custom orders or individual custom orders.

 

The serial number should begin with the letter B followed by a "9" which indicates that it is an ES-355. The next number should be a "0" indicating 2010. The last three numbers indicate how how of that model were made prior to yours. As far as knowing if they were mono or stereo, Bigsby, Maestro or Stopbar, I am not sure if anyone including GCS can tell you that.

 

Thank you for your answer. I also believe that only Gibson Custom Shop can answer how many they built.

 

But that serial number is interesting. Serial in my guitar start with "CS 05". Serial is in the back of the headstock, in the f-hole, Certificate of authenticity and packing checklist.

 

In the packing checklist the date is august 2010.

 

Model number on packing checklist and certificate is HB 049M. In the f-hole the model is ES-355.

 

[Question about Gibson ES-355]

Hi

 

Where did you get yours ?

 

I'm also looking for a 2010 gibson es 355 cherry with bigsby or maestro. For now I can't find one.

 

I find it from http://www.guitarvillage.co.uk/

 

And to me it was "with Maestro" only. Because Chuck Berry had Maestro. :-)

 

Good luck to finding one! You will need it.

[ES-355 - Why don't I hear much about these?]

I bought a ES-355 on last spring and I like it a lot!

 

EDIT: Does anyone know how limited this Limited Edition is? (how many Custom Shop made?)

 

 

I didn't bought it because of Clapton ;-)

 

[Question about Gibson ES-355]

Hi, I have been searching for cherry red Gibson ES-355 w/Varitone and w/Maestro for several years. Now I found one and bought it.

 

It is limited edition from the 2010. Because these ES-355 (with these specs) seems to be very hard to find. I'd like to ask, how many Gibson ES-355 did the custom shop build on year 2010? I appreciate your answer. Thanks!

 

EDIT: I have no intension to sell it. Just play it. It took years to find.

[Battery Charge process not working...?]

I have a question to Tronical. After the charging issue I had - my 1st run Robot doesn't finish charging with blue lights (this is the third time that I'm charging it). I have stopped the charging after 90 minutes, because user manual says so. Is this telling me something? Battery has reached the end of the life? I know that battery's lifetime is limited. So it is not a surprise. Or do you think, that there is something wrong in my 1st run Robot and I have to find a technician?

 

It was the first time that my battery went dead. Usually I start to charge the battery, before it is totally empty.

 

Thank you for your reply.

[Battery Charge process not working...?]

Wow, I fix my problem.

 

1. When I push charger's electricity cable hard in to the charger, it start to charge! When I STOP pushing electricity cable, it stopped charging.

2. I pushed electricity cable into the charger about a MINUTE. I stop pushing and now it is charging like charm (=normally).

 

- either I have connection problem in chargers electricity plug or charger requires this kind of procedure, that it start to charge after the battery is dead. I haven't get my battery dead before...

[Battery Charge process not working...?]

Ok, now I got this problem. The charging has work well so far, but today I got this problem. Has somebody get the GOR's charging work? Or is every 1st gen GOR's battery dying this year (2010)???

[Battery Charge process not working...?]

I don't know if this is the issue, but some of us has charging problems with the long cable. Change the guitar cable to shorter one and see if it work better.
