Gibson ES-345 Electric Guitar - Sixties Cherry

The Gibson ES-345 features several updates on the classic ES-335. Its thermally engineered maple centerblock and thermally engineered quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing reduce weight and broaden the sonic palette. Multi-ply binding and Split Parallelogram inlays bolster the model's visuals. Moreover, hand-wired controls with orange drop capacitors, calibrated T-Type humbuckers, Vintage Deluxe style tuners, and a lightweight aluminium ABR-1 bridge and stop bar tailpiece maximize the guitar's playability.
