Description

This 1959 ES-345 is very much a "go find one better "example. Far and away one of the cleanest, well kept ES examples we've had in some time.. and it plays and sounds as good as it looks! Its original PAF pickups, both zebras, measure 8.39 ohms ( bridge ), 8.54 ( neck ) and the Varitone / all electronics function perfectly without issue. The neck measures .982" at the first fret and 1.01" at the twelfth. Frets are in great shape displaying minimal indentions with plenty of height remaining. The original nut is intact and still lacquered over on both sides. Correct footprint machines are installed currently and original machines with shrunken heads are included with purchase. This guitar comes complete with its original hardshell brown case, stereo cable, almost all original factory documents and original serialized price tag. Weighs in at a pretty much perfect 8 lbs 4 oz, please email or call for additional info.
