1967 Gibson ES-345TD. 1967 was the peak production year for 345s
Gibson shipped over 10000 ES-345 guitars between 1959 and 1979; the peak production years being 1967, then 1968. Check out a 1967 Gibson ES-345. The most widely employed finish was the basic sunburst, with 43% of guitars being that colour. Cherry is also a common colour, on about a third of the total shipped. It actually proved to be more popular than Sunburst in much of the late sixties and seventies.
1970 Gibson ES-345TD
Rare finishes are Natural, Ebony, and Tobacco Sunburst. The earliest examples, and particularly the 50 Natural ones, are particularly sought after by guitar collectors.

1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue
Gibson 1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue Nickel Hardware

A Custom Shop marvel with the fleet feel and luxury looks of the fastest 335 ever.

In mid-1962 Gibson's fantastically popular thinline semihollow wonder machine adopted a thinner, faster neck profile and gorgeous pearloid block inlays to enhance the rosewood fretboard. This precision Historic reissue is identical in every way to the original. It's made on the original forms by some of the world's finest luthiers.
