Overview

An upscale vintage semi with superb versatility.

Classy ES-345 looks rendered with vintage-correct appointments, PAF-style MHS pickups, VariTone switching, and superb feel thanks to a rounded '60s 'C' profile with rolled binding.

New for 2015
Historic truss rod: Superior adjustability due to the Teflon coating, larger diameter rod, original brass anchor and larger washer.
Rolled neck binding: Binding is rounded off to comfortably fit the contours of the player's hand.
Vintage style "No Logo" potentiometers:
45 degree bevel on all plastics: Historically accurate
Quartered Adirondack Spruce braces: One step closer to vintage ES tonality
Lightweight centerblocks: 2.5 lb. - 3.2 lb.
Output jack: Mono
VariTone switch: Gold Varitone Switchplate (V.O.S.)
