The Cornerstone Just Got Smoother
The Gibson ES-345 boasts a number of aesthetic enhancements over the flagship ES-335. Crafted with a maple centerblock and quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing, players will be impressed by the lightweight feel and expanded range of tonal capabilities. The body is wrapped in multi-ply binding, and the bound fingerboard has Split Parallelogram inlays that are exclusive to this model in the ES™ series. The ES-345 is equipped with a variety of high-end appointments like our hand-wired control assembly with Orange Drop® capacitors, Gibson's new Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups, Vintage Deluxe style tuners, and a lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece anchored with steel thumb wheels and studs. A hardshell case is also included.
