SteveFord Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 This has been a rough pandemic on a lot of different level for everyone still above ground. I've wanted one of these since I bumped into a guy carrying a 335-ish case when I was in my early 20s and I asked if I could see what was inside it. For surviving nearly a year (mostly) trapped indoors with my wife, I decided what the hell, bite the bullet and do it SO it should be here next week. In the meantime, here's what will be on the UPS truck soon, a 2008 ES-345 with the coveted ToneSuck Device, stereo and slim neck. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Yup. You will have the seriously good Gibson collection. Need more amps and pedals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Play some 'Skynyrd!Shoot. Did I say that out loud?😔 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Somebody in Lynyrd Skynrd had a 345? I didn't know that. The only people I ever saw with one was Freddie King and Elvin Bishop, I thought the guy from Be Bop Deluxe had a 335. This forced indoor time really got me thinking about all of the guitars I drooled over as a kid and then put out of my mind as I grew up and put the guitars on the back burner. I always wanted a 3 pick up SG Custom like that 60th Anniversary but in all honesty, I'd seldom play it and it would be a case queen. I KNOW this 345 will see a lot of use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yeah.. I dont regret getting my 336 for a second.. I would have liked a new one but it doesnt really matter that much as it in very good condition.. Pretty much as I would expect for one of my own guitars thats over a decade old. And if you mean its the end of the line cos you will soon have your dream guitar and wont want any others.. You are probably right 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed King played a 1964 ES-345, on and off, throughout the years. He played a lot of guitars. Really well. 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHenry Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Very nice indeed. I've always liked 345's, they always make me think of Bill Nelson & Be Bop Deluxe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thank you, everyone. Rabs is right with what I meant. I've been dreaming about this model since 1978 so... I'll do a little write up once it shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I used to own a 1959 ES345 with original PAF’s that looked like yours.. In retrospect it was the best sounding Guitar I’ve ever played or owned.. I was offered too much $$$ & sold it... Congrats on yours! It’s a beauty!

Mr. Gibson Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm extremely jealous right now. I'm coveting your guitar. And now I'm going to hell for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't even know what that is and I want it. Very Nice! Good deal to see Ed King mentioned. Don't hear enough about that guy. What a guitar player and writer. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
