Gibson Marcus King ES-345 Semi-Hollowbody Sixties Cherry - ES45MK25SCGH1
Gibson Marcus King ES-345 Semi-Hollowbody Sixties Cherry
The Gibson Marcus King ES-345 in Sixties Cherry is a refined semi-hollowbody that blends vintage style with artist-inspired upgrades. Based on Marcus King’s treasured 1962 ES-345, this model keeps only the features he considers essential. It sports a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple centre block for enhanced sustain and reduced feedback, plus gold hardware for a touch of class. The mahogany neck with a Rounded profile pairs with an Indian rosewood fretboard, acrylic split parallelogram inlays, and 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth playability. Dual Custombucker pickups deliver rich, articulate tones, while a fixed Vibrola tailpiece improves tuning stability. Finished in classic Sixties Cherry and complete with a Gibson hard-shell case, it’s built for stage, studio, and collectors alike. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this ES-345 perfectly balances family heritage, player-focused design, and timeless Gibson tone.
