The Epiphone Shinichi Ubukata ES-355 was created for Japanese guitarist Shinichi Ubukata, best known for his work with ELLEGARDEN and Nothing’s Carved in Stone.
His long-time main guitar was an ES-355, and in 2017 Gibson produced a high-end Ubukata signature model that sold out almost immediately in Japan.
The Epiphone followed that concept, bringing many of Ubukata's personal choices to a more accessible instrument: Gibson ’57 Classic pickups, Bigsby B70, Varitone and the distinctive bound diamond-shaped F-holes.
The original Ebony version was primarily a Japan-only model, making it a rather unusual ES-355 here on European ground.
Comes in it's original Hardshell case.
