Description

Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 1963 Gibson ES-345TD Stereo Varitone with a Cherry Red Finish! The Gibson ES-345 TD was launched in 1959, and first demonstrated at the summer trade shows of that year – along with the Gibson ES-355 stereo varitone. These models came one year after the successful launch of the Gibson ES-335 and Gibson ES-355 models. All of these guitars were part of the new thinline series of guitars, characterized by a semi-hollow body: a maple top and back with a central maple block running the length of the body continuing from where the neck ends. The neck, in typical Gibson style, was initially mahogany, with a rosewood fingerboard. The 345 doesn’t have some of the ornamentation of the 355, but it still has gold plated hardware, and the stereo varitone circuitry. This guitar is in great shape for its age with hardware tarnish, buckle wear, a minor finish check by the treble f-hole, some indents and marks and pickguard marks, rated at 8/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
