Notes: The CS-336 is an innovative guitar, designed to offer a compact 14" thinline style body distinctly lighter than conventional 335 style guitars, and permitting unimpeded access to the entire range of the compound radius 22 fret fingerboard.

This example is in virtually unplayed condition, with a hollowed tone chamber body of rare flamed mahogany, a handsome complement to the tiger flame maple top. Weight is just 6lb 9oz. (3kg.)
