Part of Gibson Custom’s Limited Edition Collection, inspired by decades of Made to Measure special orders and the deep expertise and creativity of the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, this reissue of one of the most elusive factory combinations from Gibson’s first Golden Age—a 1959 ES345 finished in Ebony with a factory-installed Bigsby® Vibrato tailpiece—captures the elegance, tonal complexity, and expressive versatility that made the ES345 an icon for discerning players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1355\" data-start=\"825\"\u003eThe body construction uses the classic layered maple\/poplar\/maple formula with multi-ply binding on the top and back. A solid maple center block enhances sustain and greatly increases feedback resistance, creating a powerful voice that thrives in both clean and overdriven settings. The Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish, artfully applied by the Murphy Lab, imparts decades of authentic wear—from lacquer checking to subtle playing marks—offering the unmistakable feel of an instrument that has lived a rich musical life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1870\" data-start=\"1357\"\u003eThe mahogany neck is carved to the coveted Authentic 1959 profile and joined to the body with a long neck tenon for exceptional resonance. A rosewood fretboard with aged cellulose split parallelogram inlays, 22 reissue medium jumbo frets, single-ply binding, and a 24.75-inch scale length delivers a playing experience that is both familiar and inspiring. The headstock features the Gibson logo and crown, both inlaid in mother of pearl, completing an aesthetic that is as refined as it is steeped in tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2287\" data-start=\"1872\"\u003eDual Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups deliver the airy bloom, warm midrange, and dynamic sensitivity associated with late-’50s Patent Applied For humbucker™ tone. Paired with a three-way toggle switch, two volume controls, two tone controls, and a mono Varitone circuit, the ES345 offers a broad tonal palette that delivers everything from smoky jazz comping to biting blues and rock leads—and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2731\" data-start=\"2289\"\u003eGold hardware, black plastics, and an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge elegantly complement the Ebony finish. For players seeking extra expressiveness, the Bigsby Vibrato tailpiece adds another dimension of musicality with a push or pull of the bar. With Kluson® Deluxe tuners, nickel pickup covers, and a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case, this limited-run reissue is both a collector’s piece and a stage-ready instrument of remarkable versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3066\" data-start=\"2733\"\u003eThe 1959 ES345 Reissue with Bigsby, Heavy Aged, Ebony stands as a testament to the era that defined electric guitar craftsmanship and to the modern artisans who continue that legacy today. Exceptionally rare in its original form and meticulously rendered here, it is a guitar built to inspire—visually, sonically, and artistically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"68\" data-start=\"60\" data-section-id=\"ynd8s6\"\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"176\" data-start=\"69\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"90\" data-start=\"69\" data-section-id=\"ejxuqb\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"81\" data-start=\"71\"\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e ES-335\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"136\" data-start=\"91\" data-section-id=\"1bg15cp\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"111\" data-start=\"93\"\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple \/ poplar \/ maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"176\" data-start=\"137\" data-section-id=\"emy5ll\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"151\" data-start=\"139\"\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-ply top and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"186\" data-start=\"178\" data-section-id=\"yng6md\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"405\" data-start=\"187\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"218\" data-start=\"187\" data-section-id=\"ln7s80\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"207\" data-start=\"189\"\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"250\" data-start=\"219\" data-section-id=\"wm5lr4\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"233\" data-start=\"221\"\u003eProfile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Authentic 1959\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"280\" data-start=\"251\" data-section-id=\"17kqvup\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"269\" data-start=\"253\"\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"323\" data-start=\"281\" data-section-id=\"n6wng1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"300\" data-start=\"283\"\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75 in.
