The 2016 ES-345 Premier Figured brings serious upgrades in both construction and appearance to a model that is already hugely popular. Highly figured maple top and back look stunning beneath a Faded Lightburst finish, while inside the body thermally treated Adirondack spruce braces and maple centerblock enhance resonance for rich, luscious tone. An ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles, a new neck shape, Historic truss rod, MHS humbuckers, redesigned Varitone circuit and other features complete a package that sounds as good as it looks.
