Gibson ES-340TD Walnut 1969 With Hardshell Case (Neck Reset/Headstock Repair)
Vintage Gibson ES-340TD in Walnut finish made in 1969 with Gator Hardshell Case(Neck Reset/Headstock Repair). This guitar features a double bound Semi-Hollow maple back&sides sides body with a maple top, 3-Ply figured maple/mahogany neck and bound rosewood fingerboard. Equipped with its original Gibson patent number humbuckers in the neck and bridge position. Controlled by 2 volume, 2 tone pots and a 3-Way toggle switch. The 24.75" scale length neck has pearloid small block inlays and tortoise side markers with 22 vintage frets on a 12" radius with a slim taper profile. The hardware is comprised of chrome Kluson deluxe double line /double ring tuning machines with keystone heads, a micarta nut, a Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with retrofitted with a rosewood base & stop tail with witch hat knobs and a 5-Ply black pickguard.
This guitar is in overall very good condition with signs of age and play. It has light finish check throughout the instrument, some finish wear, surface marks / some scratches, some light chipping on the edges/ body sides and some dings and dents. One pot has been replaced with a 1981 coded cts pot. The bridge and tailpiece have retrofitted from trapeze to stopstail. We believe this has had a neck reset and most likely a headstock repair at some point in it's life. The neck has been refinished with nitro along time ago. (See Pics)
Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Gator Hardshell Case.
