Up for auction, I have my Epiphone ES-345 Ltd Edition in Cherry Red. This model is no longer available & this is without doubt the best colour they did. I've owned it from new for 5 years & played it for maybe 10 hours. Due to an old industrial injury, my dream of playing guitar is in the bin. As gorgeous as it is, it just gathers dust & it's a shame for it not to be played. I bought it expecting to change the pick-ups after playing on a friends Dot but I was blown away with the quality of the ones fitted. There really is no need to do a thing, straight from the box, it's a cracker. The build & finish knocks spots off the Dot too, I think they put the top guys in China making these as they are a little bit special. The range of tones available will keep you entertained for hours & I'll paste some specs below for you. The condition is as good as new bar one tiny scratch I didn't know was there until today. It is shown in the last pic & not seen when playing or displaying. Due to the high cost of shipping with insurance, I have to pass that to you, sorry. Collection is welcome & I'm 5 miles off the M6 J31a The Limited Edition ES-345 The Epiphone Limited Edition ES-345 brings back one of the rarest and most revered ES-style designs in stunning color finish, Cherry, along with a gold Bigsby™ tremolo to make a truly high-class instrument that will set you apart on any stage big or small. Classic History The ES-345 was first released in 1959 and was quickly embraced by rockers and bluesmen alike for its classy look and incredible range of tones. Fans of the ES-345 include Keith Richards, B.B. King and Freddie King, whose classic “Hideaway” was recorded with an ES-345.
