The Story

Freddie King 1960 ES-345 Sixties Cherry Used

This is a used Gibson ES-345 Freddie King model in Cherry, a tribute to the Blues legend, built in a small batch of guitars. This instrument has a historic tubeless truss rod with Adirondack bracing, a pair of MHS Alnico humbuckers, and a stereo output jack. This one is #192 out of 200! The guitar is in overall very good to excellent condition with the original case and COA included. There's light surface marks on the body and visible pick scratches on the pickguard.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
