The ES-345 is equipped with a variety of high-end appointments like hand-wired control assembly with orange drop capacitors, Gibson's Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups, Vintage Deluxe style tuners and lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge and stop bar tailpiece anchored with steel thumb-wheels and studs. The ES-345 can be finished in either a vintage antiqued gloss, Sixties Cherry or Vintage Burst.
