Up for sale is my ‘68 345 in cherry.

PICS - https://imgur.com/a/0c2Zhw0

It’s a bit of a player, changes include -

- Mid/Later 70s Tarbeck pickups
- Schaller roller bridge
- Late 60s/70s Gibson Les Paul custom waffleback tuners

The binding on the neck has shrunk a little, which I’ve heard is common on these.

It is still wired in stereo with the original varitone wiring in place. The original frets are pretty low, but I’ve left it up to the buyer whether they want to refret it or not. 

It comes with a layer 80s red lined Gibson hard case.

I’m asking £5,250, but I’m open to offers or trades for other vintage/custom shop guitars.

Message me if you have any questions or for more pics

    Was this from ATB recently? Would be good to see their description and advert - Mike's pictures are always great too.
