Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The ES-345 is a double-cutaway semi-hollow electric built around a thermally engineered maple centerblock and quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing. That construction is presented for lower weight, resonance, sustain, and a range extending from warm, woody sounds to brighter, crisper ones. Calibrated T-Type humbuckers, handwired controls with Orange Drop capacitors, and a three-way selector provide the guitar’s electronic layout. The rounded ’50s-style mahogany neck and four-knob control arrangement keep the physical feel and controls rooted in a familiar Gibson format.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want neck, bridge, and combined humbucker settings from a three-way selector.
- Rehearsal or stage work where a semi-hollow’s lower-weight construction is a priority.
