khryp Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hello. Please, I need help identifying this guitar (exact year of production, woods used in its construction & possible value) It's a Gibson ES 345TD, stereo output, bigsby & varitone, over the truss rod its written STEREO,serial:126926, NO "Made in USA". Made in Kalamazoo; Michigan, all parts are original. I attached some pictures. Thanks in advance; Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Due to the purple label, no "Made In USA", and serial number. I would estimate the guitar was made sometime in early/mid 1970. This time frame was a transition period when various features were changed such as paper label type, headstock imprint, and headstock "volute". These changes are generally accepted to have been phased in in 1970. So a guitar which features some, but not all, would be from this "transition" period. Potentiometer codes would add some other "hard" evidence to the equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
