Gibson / ES345TDC / 1962 / Cherry / Guitar For Sale
Now available on consignment, an original 1962 Gibson ES 345TDC in cherry.
This early 60s Gibson ES345 has been well played evidently, however still retains its original finish with no breaks and the all important parts including two original PAF pickups.
Work to the guitar includes:
- At some point 60s Pat Pend. Grover tuners have been installed that match nicely. There is a chip on the bass side of the headstock wing.
- A recent re-fret with medium jumbo wire, and a new nut.
- The pickup covers, rings, strap buttons, ABR-1 bridge, and stop-tail piece are late 60s/early 70s Gibson parts. The switch tip is a modern replacement.
- At one point a Nashville style bridge was installed, the studs have been plugged and redrilled back to stock. A Bigsby B7, and sideways vibrola were fitted previously in it's life with the holes touched up.
Otherwise this guitar retains its original worn-in cherry finish, and two short magnet PAF pickups with original coils. Other than mentioned, the plastics remain all correct including the 3ply pickguard, and the wiring harness remains original and in stereo with the vari-tone still engaged.
The guitar has been recently setup with 10-46 strings, and plays very easily thanks to the slimmer early 60s neck profile, and the recent re-fret.
A great feeling early 60s Gibson ES345 that has been played for good reason!
Includes a Hiscox hardcase.
