Up for sale is a lovely 1979 Gibson ES-347 in Ebony finish. We believe this one is all-original (although there's a possibility the nut was replaced), and it features a pair of Super Humbucking "Tarback" pickups with the original CTS pots, Schaller Tune-O-Matic bridge, and TP-6 Fine-Tune tailpiece.

It's in Very Good Vintage condition, and just has a tiny bit of cosmetic wear in the form of scratches and a few tiny dings here and there. The hardware has aged some over the years, and the frets have a little bit of play wear. Unfortunately, the factory coil-tap switch on the treble horn does not stay in the split position (down). From what we've found, there is no replacement for these switches and they can't be rebuilt. Regardless, this is a great vintage guitar in pretty stellar shape for its age!

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.  

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
