Torch the fretboard on the ES-345TD. Its 'Mickey Mouse' double cutaway means high-neck access for incendiary solos, while MHS humbuckers provide beefy tone.

I bought my first Gibson, a cherry ES-335 back in 1972, and regret selling it. since then I have owned several more, including a custom shop ES-345 purchased new in 2007. This Memphis Reissue is flat out amazing. The Varitone adds creative options, especially when used with pedals such as my Pigtronix Envelope Phaser. The 12 month payment plan with zero interest is a great idea! My guitar shipped the day I bought it and arrived safely three days later, with free shipping. ZZOUNDS rocks!
