Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Presented as a 1959 ES-355 Reissue in Ebony, this right-handed semi-hollow electric guitar combines a maple/poplar/maple body with a solid mahogany neck and solid ebony fingerboard. Its HH configuration works through a 3-way switch, and the control layout provides individual volume and tone controls for each pickup. The 24.75-inch scale and 22 frets set the playing format, while the fixed bridge and stopbar tailpiece keep the hardware layout straightforward. Murphy Lab Ultra Light aging gives it an intentionally aged presentation.
