Personal Thoughts:
This made-in-Japan ES-355 signature model for [Nothing’s Carved In Stone] guitarist Shinichi Ubukata is a proper under-the-radar collector’s piece. Only available in Japan, the Olive Drab Green finish paired with nickel hardware and classic 355 appointments gives it serious stealth-vibe energy.
The Gibson USA '57 Classics give you warm, vintage PAF tone with that unmistakable ES semi-hollow growl. Add in the full nitro lacquer finish, bone nut, and Mallory caps, and this guitar punches far above its weight. It’s a boutique-level build under a familiar nameplate.
 
Condition Report:
Excellent condition. A few light signs of use—minor surface marks only. Frets are clean, hardware shows no tarnish, and it’s been well looked after.
