1972 ES345TD Stereo Varitone

Serial Number: 675724

UPDATE: Had an offer on this guitar. The buyer spotted what they suspected was a crack in the headstock.  I took it to a luthier, and he expertly repaired the crack.  He said, "The crack was not caused by any kind of abuse. The wood just dried out and popped. I would not classify the wood as 'defective' either. It's an organic substance and therefore unpredictable to a certain degree.  I would classify this as a minor repair since the damage has not gone all the way through the headstock veneer."

I reveal this as I wish to be totally honest about the instruments condition.

Great example of this instrument. In very good condition considering her 48 years! Of course it has some stage wear, see photos. It has those flat/wide speed frets and is an excellent player. The variotone works as designed, it and all pots as far as I can tell are original. I bought this guitar in 2005, and though I love it, have not played it a great deal.

Comes with a stereo-to-mono adapter. I do not have the original Gibson stereo cord.

Comes with a period case, but not the original case. Has “White Star” stenciled on it ( see photos ).
