Description: 

Here for your consideration is a 1979 Gibson ES-347 in very good condition! The short-lived deluxe-version of an Gibson ES-335 featuring an ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays and the bound Custom-style headstock, TP-6 fine-tuning tailpiece, coil-tap switch, Series VII "tarback" humbuckers, Schaller tuners and a brass nut. Body shows some light surface marks and dings but overall is in great condition for its age. Neck is in good condition overall but does have a spot on the rear lower side from behind the 15th fret up to the neck joint that seems to be from what we think is damage from being left on or too close to a heater, but we are not entirely sure. Check our photos to see the area in detail. Though you can feel it if you run your hand over it it doesn't get in the way of playing whatsoever and does not affect the structural integrity of the neck in any way and otherwise the neck is in great shape. There is also another spot with similar damage on the inside of the top horn but is is much smaller and again it does not compromise the structural integrity of the guitar whatsoever- see our photos for details. Moving along the headstock shows some light wear, surface marks, and dings but is overall in very good condition with no major damage. Fretboard is very clean and frets show minimal wear with no issues and plenty of life in them. Hardware shows signs of age, tarnishing, and pitting but is all completely functional. Coil split switch tip has been repalaced but original is included. Electronics work great and have been thoroughly cleaned. Features a coil tap switch for some extra tonal versatility. Features a set of Series VII "tarback" humbuckers that sound phenomenal. Overall an absolutely stunning 347 that plays great and is overall in great shape for its age. Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. One of the latches does not work on the original hard case but it is included.
