Body Electric Guitar, Serial Number 800809. Very nice overall. Estate find from last week. A Gibson ES-345TD semi-hollow body electric guitar featuring a double-cutaway laminated maple body with f-holes and a transparent cherry red finish. The instrument features multi-ply cream-colored binding on the body and single-ply binding on the mahogany neck. The rosewood fingerboard is decorated with mother-of-pearl split-parallelogram inlays. Gold-plated hardware includes humbucking pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a trapeze tailpiece with a raised diamond motif. The guitar is equipped with stereo wiring and a six-position rotary Varitone switch with a black chicken-head knob. Control knobs are black witch hat style for volume and two tone settings. The headstock features gold-plated Kluson Deluxe tuners with plastic tulip buttons and a truss rod cover engraved with Stereo. An orange oval label visible through the f-hole confirms the model name as ES 345 TD and the serial number as 800809. The internal wood surface is stamped STEREO VARITONE. Something moves slightly inside the guitar when I tip it back and forth.
