Gibson Custom Shop ES-355

Used examples typically trade between $8,550 and $13,250; anything under $8,525 is worth a close look. Price variance is high — individual sales can move the market, so check recent comps before committing.

This model rarely comes to market at ~3/month. When one does appear, expect less room to negotiate on price.

Condition matters here — worn examples sell for roughly 27% less than clean ones. Prioritize a good example if you plan to resell.
