Overview

A desirable year and model painstakingly recreated.

The Gibson 1959 ES-345TD Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar offers all of the features of the 1959 ES-335 with the original improvements of split parallelogram neck inlays, mono Varitone circuit and a stereo output. Every nuance and spec of the classic model is here down to the "Mickey Mouse" cutaways, aniline dye neck filler, spruce bracing, historic lightweight materials, hot-hide glue neck joint and colored multi-ply binding. Electronics feature a pair of MHS humbuckers with an Alnico III pickup at the neck and Alnico II at the bridge. A matched set of 550K potentiometers adds to this semi-hollowbody's authentic tone. Hardshell case included.
