Another piece from the vaults
No trades on this one please
This was a limited run from 2002-2010
Mine is a 2003, within the first production year. It is dead mint and has no issues, frets are at 98%
Everything is original on this guitar. Since it is a 2003 it does not include a COA or “Custom Shop” logo on the case but this is in fact a custom shop guitar. A prime example is any Les Paul Custom from the 90’s.
$5000 on reverb
Was $4500
$4250 shipped, buyer covers the PayPal fee
The original ES-345 debuted in 1959 in response to demand for an upgrade on the revolutionary new semi-hollowbody design of the ES-335, with Vari-tone electronics and double-parallelogram inlay. Some things never change. The demand for the ES-345 is still there. And so is the Gibson guitar ES-345 Reissue.
B.B. King’s original axe! 2 ’57 Classic humbuckers with 6-position Varitone switch, stereo and mono jacks, and all-maple semi-hollowbody let this Gibson classic electric guitar belt out the blues like nobody’s business. This super-versatile musical instrument holds its own on jazz, rockabilly, country, and even rock stages. Parallelogram split pearloid inlays on the bound rosewood fretboard, multi-ply top binding, nickel hardware, split parallelogram fretboard inlays, and bound back provide sumptuous looks. Mahogany neck, tune-o-matic bridge, and stopbar tailpiece. Comes with Gibson deluxe hardshell BB King case. The sweetest singing axe of the Memphis blues reborn!
