artmaker Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Being new here, you might have done this already but I have three of these guitars and I think they are fantastic instruments....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdeluxe Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Very nice -- love the blonde! Back in '82, I had the choice between a 347 and a new Super Reverb and a used '63 Country Gent and a new, much more expensive amp. I got the Gretsch, but have always regretted not going the other way. Now I have a blonde 335, but it's just not the same =sigh= (but I'm not sorry for the Super: a friend has one and it's too heavy for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmaker Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Nothing ever wrong with getting a Super Reverb although Showmans are my favorites. I got my 347s when they were a lot less expensive than the are now. I tried one as an alternate to the more expensive 355s and I have never regretted my three purchases.

J185-4Me Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Mine is an '88. Love the neck, the coil splitter, and the TP-6 tailpiece! Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qblue Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I think I bought the LAST new ES-347 in 1993. This one was manufactured in 1991. I love the Series 7 (Dirty Fingers) pickups. Neck and action are sublime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artmaker Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hey qblue, My sunburst is also a '91. You mentioned yours has "dirty finger" pickups. Is that what Gibson used for all the 347s that year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are identical to the Dirty Fingers pickups that are now sold without the gold covers. They are now found on the Tom De Longe ES-335 guitar and a few others. It's a ceramic magnet containing pickup, and still considered a vintage style pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Here's mine onstage. It's a 1982 ES-347 TD with a stop tailpiece and Lindy Fralin's humbuckers. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
