Vintage Vibe, Modern Versatility

Straight from the heart of Gibson's most innovative era, this 1979 ES-347TD is a true player's piece, dripping with vibe and packed with features that set it apart from its 335 brethren. This isn't just a semi-hollowbody; it's a testament to a time when Gibson was pushing the boundaries of tone. The all-original construction, from the arched maple body to the gold hardware, tells a story of nearly 45 years of music, and it's ready for its next chapter with you. The ebony finish gives it a sleek, formal look, but make no mistake—this guitar is built to get down to business.

Tonally Flexible Powerhouse

The secret weapon of the ES-347 lies in its electronics. It's loaded with a pair of Gibson's Series VII "Super Humbucking" pickups—bold, powerful, and articulate. But the real magic happens with the coil-tap switch. A simple flick is all it takes to split the humbuckers, unlocking a world of glassy, single-coil sounds that most semi-hollows can only dream of. Go from thick, sustaining lead tones to spanky, rhythmic textures in an instant. Add in the TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece for impeccable tuning stability, and you have a guitar that's as reliable as it is versatile.

Premium Feel and Playability

From the moment you pick it up, the ES-347TD feels like a deluxe instrument. The laminated maple neck is capped with a slick, dark ebony fingerboard, offering a smooth and fast playing surface that's a joy to navigate. The double Venetian cutaway provides effortless access to the upper frets, while the full maple center block ensures maximum sustain and feedback resistance, even at stage volumes. Finished with multi-ply binding, pearl block inlays, and a brass nut for extra resonance, this guitar is a masterclass in Gibson craftsmanship.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
