Description

This 1968 Gibson ES-345 is exceptionally well-preserved for its age and offers outstanding playability. Its tone delivers the lively midrange character expected from an ES-style guitar, complemented by a fully functional Varitone switch for versatile tonal options. The finish exhibits light checking throughout, with no evidence of refinishing or overspray under blacklight inspection. The guitar has been upgraded with Schaller tuners and replacement knobs but remains otherwise original. It comes with its 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.
