1968 Gibson ES-345 - Cherry Red Please contact prior to purchase to ensure all your questions are answered. This guitar was just gone over head to toe by our tech and plays fast and smooth up and down the neck. Weight is a comfy 8.38 lbs on an accurate digital scale. It appears to be all original except for the tuners. Pickups have been checked and are correct. Overall, the condition is very good. This is one of the better examples of 60s era ES models that I have come across. There’s play wear throughout the guitar. The frets are original and on the lower side but still have plenty of life. No buzzing or major divots. The fretboard is in good shape and the back of the neck has some finish wear and minor dings. There are light pick marks on the pickguard and again wear throughout the back and sides from playing. The back of the body is fairly clean with minimal buckle marks. There is a small repair on the upper right portion of the headstock that was addressed long ago. I don’t know the history here, so please don’t inquire. It’s structurally sound and is not close enough to the tuners to impact anything there. Comes with hard shell case.

The Gibson ES-345 is a high-quality semi-hollow body electric guitar featuring versatile controls, a rich maple body, and warm humbucker pickups. First introduced in 1958, it quickly gained popularity among jazz and blues musicians for its balanced tone and stylish design.
