NEW GUITAR DAY - 1970 GIBSON ES-345

couldn't be happier with my new addition, a Gibson ES - 345 TD in Walnut finish from 1970. An absolutely beautiful guitar in both sounds and looks!

thought I'd make a video to show you how great it sounds and talk a little bit about the Varitone switch, another great feature!

I'm plugged into a Blackstar JJN20 using its in built reverb, and using a carbon copy pedal pedal when I mention it for some subtle delay.

let me know what you think in the comments, will be doing another video very soon comparing the Es345 to a Es 330!
