1981 Gibson ES-347 Natural
ON H O L D -- Gently used ONE OWNER Kalamazoo made 347 in Antique Natural!
Guitar is ALL original, now sporting a Custom Made (by Saul Kohl) Tortoise guard (orig included).
No severe wear anywhere. There's a bit if "hanger rash" from store display (in early '80's a LOT of the hangers had brown tubing that "reacted" with finishes- SEE PHOTOS).
It was always strung with flatwounds for mellow chord melody playing (so frets remained nice).
The neck has a cool medium-chunky feel that "grows" toward the body much like many '58 thinlines do (Depth is 0.79" at 1st fret, 1.05" at 12th. I probably should have said "more chunky toward upper register". Nut width 1.70.6").WEIGHT - 8 lbs /12.5 oz.
There's the usual gold wear (since guitar makers use the thin "electroplating" process).
Included is a perfect early 2000's Brown combo and cape Gibson deluxe hard case.
