This absolutely beautiful 2023 Gibson 345 vintage sunburst has been babied ever since I first bought it brand new in July of 2024. I am the original owner and it is in excellent condition and absolutely perfect playing condition. I made sure to store the guitar in the case whenever I was not playing it. The original case is mint and it comes with all of the original case candy. In fact, it’s never been gigged and hasn’t ever left the house.

There are very slight cosmetic blemishes that do not affect the playing or the sound whatsoever. The main blemish is on the headstock…there is a blemish from my strobostomp headstock tuner that I put on it the first day I got it…it reacted to the nitro finish but is not visible unless the right type of light hits it (included in photos)…it was a rookie mistake by me! There are very small tactile scratches on the lower bout of the guitar, but again, does not affect playability at all.

The sweet neck is a 50s-style rounded “C” mahogany neck. It’s slightly thicker than the 60s slim neck and with great playability. 

Sounds immense and resonant and the neck is smooth as ever. Plugged in it just sings and is versatile with all of the tones you can get. I absolutely love this guitar.

Guitar Weight: 7lb 14oz.
