Gibson ES-345 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar (with Case)

The original ES-345 debuted in 1959 in response to demand for an upgrade on the revolutionary new semi-hollowbody design of the ES-335, with the Vari-tone electronics and double-parallelogram inlay. Some things never change. The demand for the ES-345 is still there... and so is the ES-345.
