The Pinnacle of ES Construction in Rare Frost Blue

Step back into the golden era of semi-hollow design with this stunning 2016 Gibson Memphis 1964 ES-345 Reissue. Finished in the rare and eye-catching Frost Blue, this guitar was crafted during the celebrated Memphis factory era and stands as a meticulous recreation of one of the most sophisticated instruments in Gibson's history.

Featuring the legendary Varitone switch and historically accurate MHS Humbuckers, this ES-345 delivers the woody, airy resonance of a vintage original with the rock-solid reliability of modern Custom Shop craftsmanship. From the quartersawn Adirondack spruce bracing to the chemically aged celluloid inlays, every detail has been engineered for the serious player and collector alike.

Key Features & Historic Specifications

• Historic Construction: 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body with a solid maple center block and Quartersawn Adirondack Spruce bracing for authentic vintage resonance.
• Authentic '64 Neck: The solid mahogany neck features the highly coveted Rounded '64 "C" profile that feels substantial yet incredibly comfortable.
• MHS Humbuckers: Memphis Historic Spec pickups (Alnico III in the neck, Alnico II in the bridge) are under-wound to capture the grit, chime, and "cluck" of original PAFs.
• The Varitone Circuit: A 6-position Varitone switch allows for a massive array of notched frequency filters, giving you access to iconic "out-of-phase" tones and thin, funky textures at the turn of a dial.
• VOS Treatment: The Vintage Original Spec nickel hardware and nitro finish have been lightly aged by the factory to provide the look and feel of a well-cared-for vintage treasure.
