■ Product Details

A signature model embodying the ideals of guitarist Shinichi Ubukata (ELLEGARDEN / Nothing’s Carved In Stone), who is renowned for his unique playing style and tone.

This pre-owned Epiphone Shinichi Ubukata ES-355 ver.02 is the second signature model from Epiphone; it aims to faithfully recreate the Gibson Shinichi Ubukata ES-355 Vintage Ebony VOS, which was itself developed based on the Gibson ES-355 with Bigsby that Ubukata has used for years.

It inherits key specifications from the Gibson signature model, including bound diamond-shaped F-holes, Grover Rotomatic tuners, Gibson '57 Classic pickups, a Bigsby B70 vibrato, a Varitone switch, and the "skull" logo on the back of the headstock.

There is some slight clouding on the metal hardware. While there are relatively few scratches for an instrument that has seen regular use, some minor scuffs are present.

The electronics are functioning properly, ensuring reliable performance.

*Note: There is some slight crackling noise from the Varitone switch.

*Note: This item consists of the guitar only; no case or other accessories are included. ■Specs
