2012 Gibson Custom Shop ES-345 (SOLD)

SOLD
This is an amazing guitar. A legendary instrument. A piece of history 🙂 a quite rare,a hard to find semi-hollow body Gibson ES-345. It the big brother of the 335. Same construction, same size, but it looks much fancier and has a very unique varitone switch plus stereo (and mono) output.

The double block inlays are very exclusive, a 335 guitar costs about £500 more if you buy the “block” version and this one has the much nicer double trapezoid inlays! The extra vintage looking buttons and the gold hardware turn this beauty to a very elegant, exclusive instrument.

It was made in 2012 by the Gibson Custom Shop, it comes with its certificate and the original BB King hard case.

This is the most sought after colour and it’s very hard to find one on the second hand market. Especially in this EXCELLENT, un-used condition. It’s got a few micro scratches here and there but nothing serious (check the pictures I tried to show these).

Well, the sound is killer. Warm, jazzy, mellow but it sounds wicked overdriven too! I don’t know how the hell did they design this at Gibson but it sounds ACE in almost every genres.

At £2000 it’s a great guitar for the player or collector! A production made LP Standard costs the same nowadays…and this is a Custom Shop made, semi-hollow, top of the ES range instrument…SOLD
