NVGD - 1963 Es345 - UPDATED
*** UPDATED ***
First I want to thank everyone for there insight on a previous thread regarding '64 es335.
after some research I discovered in order to get a'59 or a '64 es335 I would need more funds to reach my goal.. No biggie, I'll wait till that time..
well,
I came across a player grade 1963 es345 in cherry, No original parts except the wiring harness and beat up knobs. Original finish with alot of player wear and checking, but no breaks..
so i pulled the trigger, And she arrived last week .
I Removed and sadly put away the Varitone harness and installed a new Wiring Harness
She's feels and sounds amazing... Neck shape is similar to my 56/59 LP conversion but with less of a D shape..
Install these parts for now, while i hunt era correct parts: Throbak 101 LTD Pickups, Pigtail ABR, Repo Knobs, 60's TP & 50's Kulson Tuners..
