Gibson ES models

A quick read, but I found it interesting.

I always wondered what 335, 345, 355 etc meant...

Huh?
An f-hole is an opening in the upper sound board of a stringed musical instrument?

It's not even complete - no mention of the ES-347TD for instance.

I don't think that's true. An ES-335 may originally have been $335, but I'm pretty sure an ES-345 did not cost $10 more, and a 355 didn't cost only another $10. The Varitone units alone must have cost near enough that, let alone the more complex inlays and binding, and gold hardware. The 355 also usually came with a Bigsby.

It would have been $347, I know that much.

That makes the ES325 a bargain....

If you want some real detail, go here. Some truly astounding guitars there.
