Gibson Custom Shop ES-355
Aftermarket Price History
Used-market sales only. Brand New listings excluded.
The ES-355 Custom Shop is the most obviously dressed-up branch of Gibson's thinline world, and it needs to feel worthy of that status. Buyers are paying for spectacle, finish quality and a certain air of upper-tier Gibson excess. If the hardware, finish or structural condition starts to look ordinary, the justification weakens fast.

Market Report
Used examples typically trade between $4,600 and $6,075; anything under $4,600 is worth a close look. Price variance is high — individual sales can move the market, so check recent comps before committing.
This is a slow-moving market at ~5/month. Sellers may wait longer for the right buyer; don't expect a quick flip.
Condition matters here — worn examples sell for roughly 37% less than clean ones. Prioritize a good example if you plan to resell.
