This 1980 Gibson ES-345TD, serial #80250044, is a 33 year old guitar, and one of the latest of the original series that stopped in 1981, nowadays 345/355 series are more of upgraded 335 models, and not even close to the original series that started in 1958. In Excellent to Excellent+ condition, with very little wear and all original, with original patented- Tim Shaw- Humbucking pickups. This Stereo Guitar needs a Stereo cable to use both pickups, so we provide that with the deal, this is a most versatile instrument that can be used for almost any style due to wood-centre block. Overall very clean, with only angelhair scratching to the back, that would overrated when called buckle-rash, similar superficial wear to the front and the original frets, some little fading to the original gold hardware. With original gold tailpiece, double bound maple body, mahogany neck, bound Rosewood fretboard with double parallelogram inlays, inlay, 22 frets, Vari-tone switch, Gibson/Schaller original tuners, gold hardware, Comes with killer tone, 42.8mm (1 11/16") width at the nut, 628mm (24 3/4") scale length. The Varitone circuitry features a six-position switch that adds capacitors of different value to the circuit, giving 18 switch options in total, almost anything between a Fender Stratocaster to a les paul, The capacitors act as a notch filter, so each position on the switch notches out mid-range frequencies, thinning out the sound. comes with a original Gibson hardcase that might be of later date, late 70s-80's fender strap, + later Stereo cable.

The Fellowship Of Acoustics, Netherlands 
ABOUT US
I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
