The classic maple\/poplar\/maple body carries a solid maple centerblock for extra sustain and feedback resistance, wrapped in multi-ply white binding, and the Murphy Lab's Heavy Aged nitrocellulose finish adds authentic lacquer checking and play wear so it feels like a guitar with real history behind it. At 8.7 lbs., it's a substantial, resonant semi-hollow that plays every bit as good as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mahogany neck wears the coveted Authentic 1959 profile (.905\" at the 1st fret, .970\" at the 12th) and joins the body with a long neck tenon for maximum resonance. A rosewood fretboard with cream binding and mother-of-pearl split-parallelogram inlays carries 22 reissue medium jumbo frets across a 24.75\" scale length and 1 11\/16\" nut, while the headstock's mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay complete the vintage look. Kluson Deluxe tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece — all in gold — deliver both tuning stability and old-school shimmer with every pull of the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDual Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers bring the airy bloom and warm midrange of late-'50s PAF-style tone, and with two volume controls, two tone controls, a 3-way toggle, and Gibson's mono Varitone circuit on tap, this ES-345 covers everything from smoky jazz comping to biting blues and rock leads in one guitar. It's a natural fit for the vintage-tone chaser, the semi-hollow player who wants real Varitone flexibility, and the collector after a genuinely rare factory spec. This Gibson Custom 1959 ES-345 Reissue with Bigsby, Heavy Aged Ebony (Serial #A960531) includes a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case.
