This Gibson Custom Murphy Lab Limited Edition 1959 ES 345 Reissue captures the elegance and tonal complexity of a historically significant semi hollowbody, finished in exceptionally rare Ebony with a factory installed Bigsby Vibrato tailpiece. The layered maple and poplar body with solid maple centerblock delivers powerful sustain and feedback resistance, while the Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish authentically recreates decades of vintage wear.
The mahogany neck features the coveted 1959 profile, rosewood fretboard with parallelogram inlays, and mother of pearl headstock inlays, paired with dual Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups and a Varitone circuit for versatile tone from jazz to blues and rock. A collector's piece and stage ready instrument, it arrives with Kluson Deluxe tuners, ABR 1 bridge, and hardshell case.
From Gibson:
"A 1959 ES-345 Reissue with a Bigsby and in an exceptionally rare color.
The 1959 ES 345 Reissue, Heavy Aged, Ebony, is a rare opportunity to experience a historically significant semi-hollowbody brought to life with the unmistakable character of a well-loved vintage original. Part of Gibson Custom’s Limited Edition Collection, which was 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 ES 345 finished in Ebony and with a factory-installed Bigsby Vibrato tailpiece, captures the elegance, tonal complexity, and expressive versatility that made the ES 345 an icon for discerning players."
