Gibson ES-350T

It has been stated that this short scale is due to the jazz guitarist Tal Farlow, who had expressed the desire to make difficult chords and melodies easier to grasp.

[3] It is more likely that the short scale came about as Gibson developed the ES-350T from the Byrdland using less-costly hardware and detailing, and offered it as a less expensive model.

Gibson's custom shop reissued the ES350T in 1992 as a limited edition in both a traditional vintage sunburst and natural (blonde) finish.

These models had gold hardware, Gibson PAF humbuckers, Curly Maple Body, the longer 25.5" scale (like the 1977–81 run), and a 1 11/16" nut width.

From 1996 onward the ES350T has been available as a custom order only, with buyers including Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) who acquired a twin p90 model in 2006, which was used in the O2 Arena show on December 10, 2007.

[6] Other users include Keith Richards and James Blood Ulmer, who uses an ES350T with a fitted Bigsby alongside his trademark Gibson Byrdland.

One of the first prominent users of the Gibson ES-350T was American rock and roll guitar legend Chuck Berry.
