Norm at Norman’s Rare Guitars has a story about Back to the Future, he rented out a proper 1955 jazz box style guitar to the film, and they paid him A LOT of money to hold on to it for months. But then they saw Michael J Fox with it and decided the color didn’t work. So they went back to Norm and got that red 345, even though it’s from 1958!

Gorgeous 345! I’m so glad that Gibson finally decided to get rid of the goofy stereo output (which couldn’t be run in mono without modification) and the equally goofy Varitone! The 345 was actually the ES-345TDSV for Stereo and Varitone. Cherry ones were ES-345TDCSV-T for Thin (although they never came any other way), D for Double pickup, or Double cutaway, I’m not sure which-C for Cherry finish, SV for Stereo and Varitone. Originally the standard finish was Sunburst, with Natural (TDN) available for a small upcharge. Cherry replaced Natural after a couple of years. They could be custom-ordered without Stereo and Varitone, but most of them have those. The ES-355 came standard in the SV configuration, in Cherry, and I think the V stood for Vibrato. I’ve seen three different vibratos on those-early ones had the sideways Vibrola with a really long lever, later they went to the Lyre Vibrola, and quite a few 355s had Bigsbys. Gold hardware was standard on both the ES-345 and the ES-355. I had a ‘67 345 in Cherry in the early ‘70s-this new one looks a lot nicer! No stereo or Varitone-I hate those things! and chrome hardware? Cool! My kind of 345!

@the_gitman5978 Жыл бұрын
A 345 without a Varitone is just a 335 with different inlays. Not worth it at all. The people who "ripped out" their Varitones had to be tone deaf, because with the proper amp set up they could make some Fender-like out of phase sounds that no other Gibsons could. Peter Green, anyone?

This video is from February 2023. In November 2022, I grabbed up a Yamaha SA2000. Though the body finish is wine red and it features rectangle inlay in lieu of rhombus inlay, it otherwise is synonymous with the modern 345. It was the semi-hollow companion to the Yamaha SG2000 of the same era; they are photographed together near the start of a book I have called Electronic Musical Instruments. After I began learning to play and learning about the different models, I discovered Yamaha must've modeled the SG after the Gibson version and the SA after such a 345 model as this one. I personally feel better about having gotten it than if I had struggled to get the Gibson rendition.
@cataclysmicconverter Жыл бұрын
Man those SA2000's are sweet. I've had both the sunburst and cherry versions from the late 70's early 80's about 20 years ago, the prime "golden era" for the Japanese clones that were even better than Gibson at the time IMO. A bit heavy, but solid as a rock with flawless workmanship. On the long list of ones that got away and wish I had back. Same with the AE1200S L5 style that I sold. I love the split block inlays. And a couple SG2000's came and went, too. They were like $500!
@ericbgordon1575 Жыл бұрын
You're now talkin' bang-for-the-buck, @Cataclysmic Conver.ter it is unfortunate that the SG models Yamaha came out with in the late 70s are now searching the same premiums as the Gibson renditions. However though, that's also a testament to their quality.

I LOVE the varitone. It makes the ES-345 and 355 extreeeemely versatile guitars that are great for anyone doing a gig that would normally require a Les Paul, a Strat/Tele and perhaps a Gretsch with Filtertrons. I play in an ABBA tribute where multiple guitars would normally be a requirement, but after having picked up my 73' Gibson ES-355, that gig is now overall a one guitar show - except for the 3-4 songs that require me to play an acoustic. I would rather bring an ES guitar with a Varitone to a recording session than have to lug 3-5 guitars with me.

@jeffm.2857 Жыл бұрын
I have a blue burst (different from blueberry burst) 335 from the demo shop with the T-type pickups and have the same observation about how bright and shrill they sound when dimed. Once the volume and tone are rolled off they sound decent. I'm not sure who or what type of music that bright sounds is intended for, but it doesn't really fit a 335/345. I think 57 classics would sound much better in it.

Originally, ES 345s came with gold plated hardware and a Varitone, as did the ES 355. Many 345s came with factory installed Bigsbys. ES 355s often had the fancier Gibson Vibrola trem system-not the one used on SGs and Melody Makers, but the more sophisticated version. 355s also came with gold plated hardware, and some had factory installed Bigsbys. Both were originally wired in stereo. If there was no trem system, they had a stop tail piece through the mid ‘60s; later, a trapeze tail piece. The stop tail piece makes 335s, 345s, and 355s more desirable on the vintage market. Great guitars, and cheaper than a vintage 335.

Nice you are reviewing some current production USA models. We do love seeing vintage gorgeous instruments, but lets face it, the vast majority of the audience here will buy a USA model guitar, not a custom shop or a vintage one. Nice!

I was waiting on this episode, just to see if it is possible to add a varitone without having to hack away at the bridge-pickup cavity. (Because without a varitone, it ain't a 345)

Trogly: “The 335 was introduced in 1958. The 345, a year later.” Back to the Future takes place in 1955.

Yep, that's a noted film goof. But hey, a slim margin of the audience knew in those days.

A slim margin of the audience gives a shit, then or now. Chuck Berry never had a cousin called Marvin playing in a fictional town either. Spoiler: it's a movie and the time machine never existed.

Wait so if the 345 was first introduced in 1959 then historically it couldn't of existed when Marty was playing it because he what back to November 12 1955........confused about that one 🤔

20 odd years ago, I saw a listing on eBay for the guitar that wasn't used in the film. I don't remember the model, but they decided to go with the 345 because it looked cooler.

@@torg3481 I think they chose the ES-345 so they could tie in the Chuck Berry part of the story (Johnny B. Goode riff).

I began to wonder for the first time; was Marty happy about getting to play a vintage Gibson through a vintage tweed, or would he have preferred a Kramer and a Peavey for those 80s metal tones!? 😂
