Gibson Custom Shop ES345 - ULTRA RARE COLOR! - $3,800 (Oceanside)

Only listing because I'm after a dream instrument that popped up. If that doesn't work out the listing will get pulled. This is a 2016 Gibson ES345 1964 reissue in gorgeous extremely limited Frost Blue color they only did for a small run in this time frame. The guitar has dozens of demo's online from me playing it. Some examples: https://youtu.be/STLkMa9v_Es?si=CBl2Htd_Zv96iGv9&t=607 https://youtu.be/CKbG6NhYAp4?si=dGfP6ySIX13Jp-oz&t=144 The pickups were upgraded to ReWind Electric humbuckers ($$$$) which got me the closest to the vintage ES3XX guitars I've had the chance to compare it to. The hardware was upgrade to callaham and Tonepros. The wiring harness was also "fixed", Gibson (accidentally?) wired it with a stereo varitone summed to a mono jack with modern wiring vs 50's. Bizarre. I bought the guitar new, that's how it came. This caused a big tone suck so the factory components were retained but it was rewired to be mono all the way through and to 50's wiring so that it behaves like a vintage gibson should. In addition I had the tech wire the varitone to a pull pot on the neck tone control so that the varitone is out of circuit by default so there's no extra load on the pickups (behaves like a 335), but if you pull it out it's back in circuit. Makes the varitone way more usable live because you can quickly hop between it on and off without fiddling with the 5 position knob. Got the case and COA of course. Plays beautifully, low action. This was gigged, not a case queen hence the lower price than what it would otherwise go for. If you want something mint this isn't the guitar for you, but if you want a rare special guitar you can actually use this might be what you're after. There are pick scratches, dings, and on the back around the strap button marks from a strap. I love this thing, even created a brand / logo based on it! Coolest stage guitar ever. Reach out if you have any questions.
