Description

The 1959 ES 345 Reissue in Heavy Aged Ebony is a rare Gibson Custom Limited Edition piece, honoring a legendary, elusive factory configuration from the first Golden Age. Featuring a factory-installed Bigsby Vibrato, this semi-hollowbody utilizes layered maple, poplar, and maple with a solid centerblock for sustain and feedback resistance. The Murphy Lab’s Heavy Aged nitrocellulose finish provides a weathered, authentic vintage feel. Its mahogany neck features an Authentic 1959 profile, long tenon, and rosewood fretboard with split parallelogram inlays. Dual Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, paired with a mono Varitone circuit, produce classic PAF tones. Complete with gold hardware, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and a Lifton hardshell case, this masterpiece offers professional versatility and refined, traditional artistry for the most discerning modern players.
