A pair of alnico magnet pickups and mono Varitone circuit let you dial in the perfect guitar tone. This premium guitar delivers the feel, looks, vibe, and sound you'd expect from a true vintage instrument.

The ES-345 TD's neck and body are built using hot-hide glue which many argue sounds better than synthetic glue. Gibson Memphis also uses a vintage-accurate truss rod, truss rod washer, and anchor in the guitar's neck. Every piece of wood used in the ES-345 is hand selected by its looks and weight. Just like the original, these guitars are lightweight wonders to play. Legendary tone from alnico humbuckers.
