Trevorroberts Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hi all, Back in June, I finally purchased my DREAM guitar - A BEAUTIFUL Gibson CS-356 with a Bigsby. Now here's my question, and I'm really hoping for an answer. I've seen on the Gibson site/various photos on google that this guitar is available in red, natural, flame/antique burst finishes though I have NOT been able to find a mention/photo/anything of it in an Ebony (black) finish, which what my guitar is. - DOES ANYBODY OWN OR KNOW OF ANYBODY THAT OWNS THIS GUITAR IN EBONY???? I know for certain that this guitar is a genuine Gibson and not a knock off (I checked with Gibson) but they were unable to tell me exactly how many of these were made. If anybody has any answers or ideas on whom I could contact specifically to get my answer, It'd mean the world to me. Cheers, - Trevor Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 http://hollowbodyelectricguitar.com/page/2/ Shows this is from Musician's Friend, and sure enough http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-CS356-Electric-Guitar-with-Bigsby-Tremolo?sku=527154 So, while I don't know anyone personally that owns one, if MF is selling them, you can sure bet they're out there! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
