Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Finished in Sixties Cherry, the ES-345 is a double-cutaway semi-hollow electric with a thermally engineered maple centerblock and quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing. The combination is intended to keep weight down while supporting resonance and sustain, with tones described from warm and woody through bright and crisp. Its Calibrated T-Type humbuckers feed a handwired control assembly with Orange Drop capacitors. A rounded ’50s-style mahogany neck, four control knobs, toggle switch, ABR-1 bridge, and stopbar make the control and hardware arrangement direct and familiar.
