1959 Gibson ES-345 – Sunburst
Fresh into our shop is this gorgeous 1959 Gibson ES-345 in a well-preserved Sunburst finish! The ES-345 was first introduced in 1959, and this piece is an excellent example of those highly desirable first-year specs. The neck profile is full and extremely comfortable, and these nicely maintained frets have plenty of life left in them. With its current setup, the guitar is a pleasure to play, and the tone from these pickups is simply spectacular. What’s even cooler is that both original PAFs are double whites, and sound fantastic! The Varitone control works flawlessly and provides a ton of different stereo, tonal options. The original tuners with the shrunken buttons are included in the case, with identical reproductions fitted to the guitar.
Overall Condition: 8.5, light playwear and patina, weather checking
