The Cornerstone Just Got Smoother
The Gibson ES-345 boasts a number of aesthetic enhancements over the flagship ES- 335. Crafted with a maple center block 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 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 lightweight aluminum ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece anchored with steel thumb-wheels and studs.
