Gibson / ES-345 TDC Stereo-Varitone / 1968 / Cherry Red / Guitar
|
This guitar was built in 1968, is completely original and in exceptionally fine conditions. It has a very beautiful see-through cherry finish with gorgeous wood grain showing through, with normal amount of checking but with no heavy dings and no belt buckle wear. Beautiful one-piece mahogany neck and easy-playing rosewood fretboard. Some gold-plating wear. Original pat. no. tune-o-matic bridge with nylon saddles and retaining wire, original and untouched humbucker pickups with Patent Number, original Kluson Deluxe double-line tuners. Classic Stereo-Varitone circuitry, all original wiring. This instrument has all the mid- '60s features: trapeze tailpiece, pre-pantograph pearl Gibson logo, 'top-hat' knobs. Darker red color than early '60s bright cherry. All the electronics work great. The sound is the beloved voice of the Electric Blues, with long, singing, sustaining notes, with a fair amount of badness provided by the bridge pickup. This ES 345 comes with an original Gibson hardshell case with logo, probably from 1970 or '71. The original Gibson care and maintenance booklet is included.
