Are ES 355s still available through the Custom Shop?

The '59 & '63 reissues? Yes. They're made in Nashville and are the only true Custom Shop 335s.

The rest are made in Memphis and although they have a COA and a Custom Shop case, they're the equivalent of Gibson USA. It's evident by the Gibson USA serial number and "Made in USA" on the back of the headstock.

I think he is speaking of the ES-355, previously played by BB King before Lucille, and a custom shop model played by A. Lifeson of Rush. I don't think this model is currently produced, including the Alex Lifeson model which was showcased about 2-3 years ago on this ever changing website. It was a production model up until 1982, when it was discontinued.
