Description

This 1960 ES-345 has all the vintage character you could ask for, wrapped in a beautiful Watermelon Red semi-hollow body.The Varitone circuit delivers a remarkable range of tonal versatility, making it a perfect fit for various playing styles. Thoughtful updates over the years have ensured its playability, including replaced tuners, a new nut, and a smooth refret. Both original PAF pickups have been rewound, the neck was oversprayed, and minor repairs were made to sections of the neck binding. Cosmetically, its natural wear adds a well-loved, broken-in character that only decades of play can create. With exceptional tone and feel, it’s ready for its next chapter and includes the original hardshell case.
