Description

This mid-60s ES-345 has its original patent-number pickups. Holes in the top from a Bigsby have been filled. A headstock crack has been repaired, and the back of the neck has been refinished. The serial number was re-stamped at that time. The Vari-tone has been disable, the pots have been replaced and a new set of gold-plated Kluson Deluxe tuners has been installed. The back of this guitar is finished in a uniform walnut stain that differs from the standard sunburst back finish but appears to be original. Comes with the original Hard 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.
