1960 Gibson ES-345 Natural Blonde

HOLDIf you've been waiting for a blonde 345, you've been waiting for awhile. This is the first one I've seen in over a year. They simply don't come up for sale very often and with good reason. They only made 50 of them. Four times rarer than a blonde 335. This is a mid year 60 with a factory Bigsby with pearl dots over the stud bushings. All parts are original except for one tuner tip. Neck profile is medium much like a late 59. Early enough to have the bonnet knobs rather than the later reflectors. There is some light damage to the finish around the bass side tuners-something reacted with the finish (see photos). It has been converted to 335 spec using a Creamtone harness with vintage bumblebee caps. The original harness is in the case. PAFs, of course. One has been opened to flip the magnet. Case is original brown with pink interior.
