The 1969 Gibson ES-345 TDW in Walnut is a captivating example of one of Gibson’s most elegant and feature-rich semi-hollow instruments—combining the warm, balanced voice of the ES family with the tonal flexibility of the Varitone circuit. Representing the craftsmanship of Gibson’s late-’60s era, this ES-345 offers a unique blend of expressive versatility, timeless styling, and vintage resonance that continues to inspire collectors and players alike.
Constructed with a laminated maple/poplar/maple body, the ES-345 delivers the articulate midrange, lively acoustic response, and focused projection that define Gibson’s semi-hollow legacy. The warm walnut finish accentuates the guitar’s classic lines, giving it a refined, understated aesthetic that feels both vintage and sophisticated. Whether exploring smooth jazz textures, soulful blues phrasing, or dynamic rock tones, this instrument responds with clarity, depth, and harmonic richness.
The mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard create a smooth, inviting playing feel, while the narrower late-’60s nut width adds a fast, effortless character to the instrument. Combined with the double-cutaway body design, upper-fret access is easy and comfortable, making this guitar equally at home in both rhythm and lead roles.
Factory-equipped with Patent No. humbuckers, the ES-345 offers a wide sonic palette—from warm, rounded lows to articulate highs—enhanced by the iconic Varitone circuit and stereo wiring. This setup provides a range of tones not found on the standard ES-335, perfect for players seeking additional tonal sculpting and responsive dynamic control.
