This lovely 1977 sunburst lady, has all the hallmarks of a quality built Gibson. Her fast, slim taper neck is perfectly straight and she has an action to die for. She is all original, however the previous owner had the neck re-cellulosed due to the original lacquer being worn to the wood in part and he didn’t like the feel of that! Also for more conventional use the output jack has been wired to mono, but the Varitone selector still works. Her frets are excellent & her 57 Humbuckers really have a great warmth and clarity. Her overall condition is 8/10, with some obvious expected playwear for a 40+ year old guitar. For your peace of mind, there are 100% no breaks or repairs to this guitar. She sleeps in a none original, but period correct Epiphone case.
The Gibson ES-345 guitar with its semi-hollowbody construction is a great guitar. The solid maple block down the center of the body minimizes feedback, but the hollow body wings gives good sustain, tone and weight. It was originally launched in 1958, at the same time as the ES-335. The ES-345 was designed as a slightly more deluxe version of the 335: with a multi-position “Varitone” switch, an optional stereophonic output jack, gold-plated hardware, large parallelogram fingerboard inlays, and thicker edge binding than the ES-335. It was complimented by 57 Classic Humbuckers.
