Thanks Jim.
If it was a custom order, would Gibson have used it in a widely-distributed catalogue, do you think?

I was a big Santana fan in those days and I remember scouring catalogues for pictures of the L6S, which I'd seen him playing.
But this 347 grabbed me in a way that was, well, visceral really. Never forgotten it.
And while I'd love to pick up a '60 or '61 335 Natural before I die, I think a powder blue 347 might be slightly more achievable...
Regards,
Mike

Around the late 70s or early 80s I picked up a Gibson catalogue in a local guitar shop in the UK. I was already in love with the 335 (and it would take me until 1990 to be able to afford one) and I saw a guitar that I just immediately fell in love with. It was a 347 in powder blue. I've seen plenty of VSBs, CSBs, Ebonies, etc., but I've never seen a powder blue one since.
Does anybody know if there was an actual run in this colour or was it a one-off?
Regards,
Mike.
Looking a for a guitar I fell in love with 40 years ago.

I found this which was interesting, but no luck.
