For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1960 Gibson ES-345.
Though ultimately overshadowed in popularity by its simpler sibling, the ES-335, the 345 has played an important role in the history of popular music. Its distinctive features have found favor with an impressive range of influential players, from B.B. King to Marcus King.
This early ES-345 is a particularly appealing example, featuring a pair of rare double-white PAFs, original stereo wiring and electronics, a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and its distinctive period appointments. The guitar presents in excellent overall condition, with below-average wear and fine, even checking throughout the original finish.
The guitar comes complete with its clean original Lifton hardshell case, making this a compelling example for both players and collectors of Gibson's early thinline electrics.
