Gibson ES-345 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Vintage Burst


Description
Gibson is thrilled to introduce the ES-345 semi-hollow electric guitar. Crafted with a maple centerblock and quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing, players will be impressed by the ES-345's lightweight feel and expanded range of tonal capabilities. The ES-345 semi-hollowbody electric guitar is equipped with a variety of high-end appointments like Gibson's hand-wired control assembly with orange drop capacitors, new Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups, Vintage Deluxe-style tuners and lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge and stop bar tailpiece anchored with steel thumb-wheels and studs.
Thermally Engineered Maple Centerblock Provides Lightweight Versatility
At the heart of the ES-345's tone is its thermally engineered maple centerblock, which reduces weight while improving resonance and sustain. The centerblock, combined with the guitar's Adirondack spruce bracing, gives players a versatile range of tones from warm and woody to bright and crisp.
Split Parallelogram Fingerboard Inlays Add Exclusive Style
The ES-345 features Split Parallelogram fingerboard inlays exclusive to Gibson's ES series. The inlays, combined with the guitar's multi-ply body and fingerboard binding, give the ES-345 a stylish, upscale look that honors Gibson's storied history of craftsmanship.
High-End Appointments Deliver Premium Tone and Playability
From its handwired control assembly with orange drop capacitors to its Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups, Vintage Deluxe tuners and ABR-1 bridge, the ES-345 is equipped with premium parts that provide exceptional tone, tuning stability and playability.
Rounded '50s Neck and Familiar Controls Keep Things Comfortable
With its rounded '50s-style mahogany neck and familiar control scheme featuring four knobs and a toggle switch, the ES-345 has a comfortable, familiar feel for players accustomed to classic Gibson electric guitars.

I ordered my ES-345 online, and it arrived in perfect condition, with double-boxing around the hard case. The set-up from the factory (Nashville) was spot on. A beautiful instrument. Functionally the same as an ES-335, but the extra cosmetics of the multi-ply top binding and the split-parallelogram fret markers appealed to me. Doesn't have the "Varitone" switch and stereo wiring of the original ES-345, but you won't miss them….
