Gibson ES-345 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar – Sixties Cherry Gibson

Gibson ES-345 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar – Sixties Cherry

The Gibson ES-345 offers several visual enhancements compared to the flagship ES-335. It is skillfully crafted using a maple centerblock and quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing, resulting in a lightweight feel and expanded tonal capabilities. The body features multi-ply binding, while the bound fingerboard showcases exclusive Split Parallelogram inlays, unique to this particular model in the ES™ series. The ES-345 comes with top-quality features, including a hand-wired control assembly with Orange Drop® capacitors, Gibson’s new Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups, Vintage Deluxe style tuners, and a lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece secured with steel thumb-wheels and studs.
