Gibson Certified Vintage 1972 Gibson ES-345TDSV, Cherry

1972 Gibson ES-345TDSV, Serial Number 897449

This Gibson Certified Vintage 1972 ES-345TDSV™ isn’t just a beautifully preserved semi-hollow—it’s a guitar that begs to be played. With its lively, resonant tone and unmistakable vintage vibe, this is one of those instruments that’s hard to put down.

Finished in a rich Cherry nitrocellulose gloss, this ES-345 is clean throughout with only light lacquer checking and subtle signs of play. It features a unique Varitone configuration, with the transformer mounted centrally, cutting through the centerblock and giving the guitar a more open, responsive voice reminiscent of an ES-330. It’s a subtle detail with a big impact on tone and feel.

The original T-Top pickups dish out everything from smooth jazz to raw blues with clarity and punch, and the stereo output and Varitone circuit open the door to an even bigger range of tonal textures. The split parallelogram inlays, gold-embossed pickup covers, and gold hardware give it all the visual class you’d expect from a top-tier 70s Gibson.

This guitar comes with its original black and pink Gibson hardshell case, a Certificate of Authenticity, a Letter of Appraisal, and a new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
