2015 Gibson ES-345 Historic ’64 Reissue (SOLD)

SOLD
Here comes Mr Blues Daddy straight from Memphis! What a guitar this is! Even if you just look at it: an absolute piece of history and art by Gibson Memphis! I’m a huge fan of these semi-hollow guitars by Gibson and this model is probably my favourite! It’s an upgraded version of the famous ES-335 with a much better neck (this is definitely thicker neck than the 60s slim taper on the 335s!), same building process, same construction, much better pick-ups (MHS pickups: Memphis Historic Spec), it also has amazing double inlays, double binding and the great five Vari-tone switch (filter selector) that gives amazing tone options. However just the straight plug and play sound is KILLER. So bluesy, jazzy…lots of air around the notes…
The historic sunburst finish has started got the VOS treatment so it looks faded and old that looks ace in lights! The red colour will come out more significantly over the years!
These are very very versatile guitars! From blues, jazz to heavy rock (think about Foo Fighters, Oasis) you can find Gibson Semi Hollows in almost every genres!
So this guitar is in ABSOLUTE MINT condition. Zero fret wear shows that it hasn’t been played. It’s a near new guitar, that still sells for £3200…check it on the Guitar Village website where this one was bought…it’s a bloody expensive Historic Gibson but it’s really WORTH every penny! It comes with its original Gibson hard case, certificate, invoice from Guitar Village etc…I’m sure it’s an awesome buy for £2300 which is less than a NORMAL ES-335(!!!) nowadays when the currency has been f@cked up…SOLD
