2003 Custom Shop ES-355

[swampash]

I've owned a 2003 Custom Shop ES-355 since 2018 and I acquired it in a famous Irish Vintage Guitar dealer, Some Neck Guitars. I've always been interested to understand what specific year it's supposed to be a reissue of or whether it's  a one off.

It has a fully functional varitone but it's a mono guitar which I've never seen before, usually mono 355 have no varitone switch.  It also has OX4 pickups. Guitar has all relevant paperwork etc and is 100% genuine.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am of no help, but that is one beautiful guitar.

I don't think it can be a particular year reissue.   AFAIK the old ones always had stereo output.  

Looks superb!

I concur as to it's beauty.
