Recently arrived, here is a 2001 Gibson CS-336 Sunburst Electric Guitar.  It came to us in excellent condition, aside from a nasty finish blemish on the back of the neck which was likely due to storage on a floor stand with deteriorating foam padding.   The finish has been cleaned up and leveled to the point where it is nearly invisible to the eye and hand (see detail picture).

Introduced in 2001,[1] the CS-336 was the Custom Shop's first "tonally carved" guitar, meaning that the back, center block, and sides are carved from one single piece of wood (mahogany). This solid block of wood is mated to a carved maple top. After over 100 years, the CS-336 also represented the realization of company founder Orville Gibson's goal to produce an instrument with one-piece back-and-sides construction. 

The CS-336 is a scaled-down version of another Gibson guitar, the ES-335.

Each CS-336 is adjusted by one of Gibson’s Plek machines before it leaves the Custom Shop. Key features of the CS-336 include:

  • An overall body size that is 13 inches wide, 16 inches long, and 1 11/16th-inches deep.
  • Two Gibson ’57 Classic humbucking pickups
  • Gibson two-tone pot, two-volume pot, a three-way selector switch control configuration and ABR-1 bridge
  • Nickel hardware
  • Single-ply binding on body’s top and back
  • One-piece mahogany neck with 22-fret rosewood fingerboard
  • 24.75" scale length, 1+1116-inch-wide (43 mm) nut.
