Description

This ES-345 is in very nice condition for its age and has undergone some tasteful upgrades and mods (see Condition Notes), but remains mostly original. It once had a Bigsby and now features a stop tail, and it plays very nicely on an older refret. Tonally, it’s exceptionally classic PAF, with the original Varitone providing a wide variety of sounds. It shows honest wear for its age but is truly very clean overall. It comes with 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.
