Default Happy NGD to me! (Custom Shop)

Finally... I have been searching a Gibson ES-355 (w/Varitone and Maestro) for years. Today it's THE DAY, when I got it. I can't stop smiling





And the idol is here:

Although I've never really been a Gibson guy, I must say that has always been one of my favorite guitars. Would love to hear some sound samples!

Same here. Can see well on my IPhone. Nice guitar.

Is the Varitone unit a Gibson device, or the DeLisle unit?

Cheers

That's brilliant! Now I'm calling these as a "dream team".

Marlin, I'm not sure, but I think it's Gibson device. That's my wild guess, because this guitar is a limited edition model (2010) from the Gibson Custom Shop. No modifications done after it left from the factory. Can I identify it somehow?
