This Gibson ES-340 represents a fascinating chapter in the company’s history of innovation. Designed as a boundary-pushing take on the ES-335, the ES-340 featured a birch body for a slightly woodier tone and an unconventional wiring scheme that offered expanded tonal options—including a pickup blend knob and a three-way switch with phase settings for added versatility. This particular example has been converted to traditional ES-335-style wiring for a more familiar control layout. A few other minor modifications are outlined in the Specs tab. Includes the original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
