2021 ES-345. Plastic film still on the Pickguard and no real marks to note anywhere on body or neck. It does have a lovely bit of figuring on the back and the top has a nice plain maple character with a fetching vintage burst that has more amber than the yellowish tint of the 2000s. It comes with all of the bits pictured.
Specs just below. Neck is a very comfortable C shape and the calibrated T pickups are very fine with lots of articulation and that '3d' character.

A classic Special from 1997.
It's a very resonant and loud instrument acoustically and really sings with overtones and sustain when played through an amp.
The 1997 literature describes the neck as being a '59 shape.
It has plenty of marks from playing and a couple of paint touch ups on the bottom edge near strap button.
Frets are in good condition, with plenty of height left and the freatboard is smooth and easy to play.
The case is included, I was told it's Tokai but can't see any markings on it.
