Description
The 2016 ES-345 Premier Figured brings serious upgrades in both construction and appearance to a model that is already hugely popular.
Highly figured maple top and back look stunning beneath a Faded Lightburst finish, while inside the body thermally treated Adirondack spruce braces and maple centerblock enhance resonance for rich, luscious tone.
An ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles, a new neck shape, Historic truss rod, MHS humbuckers, redesigned Varitone circuit and other features complete a package that sounds as good as it looks.
Gibson Memphis honors the world renowned guitarist of Rush with the popular new Les Paul-meets-ES-335 hybrid, made to the specifications of Alex Lifeson himself.
Premiere tone is produced thanks to quarter-sawn, thermally engineered Adirondack spruce bracing and a thermally engineered Mahogany centerblock, two PAF-like MHS humbuckers, matched potentiometers, historic truss rod, titanium bridge saddles, a bone nut and more, while rolled neck binding delivers a sublimely comfortable playing feel.
