Gibson Marcus King ES-345 Sixties Cherry w/case

Gibson Marcus King ES-345 – Sixties Cherry

Step into the soulful legacy of American roots music with the new Gibson Marcus King ES-345 in Sixties Cherry—the latest addition to the Gibson Artist model lineup. Crafted in partnership with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and guitarist Marcus King, this signature semi-hollow pays tribute to the King family’s musical heritage and Marcus’s dynamic playing style.

Inspired by a Family Heirloom

Based on Marcus’s cherished 1962 ES-345—passed down through three generations of King musicians—this modern ES-345 captures the vibe, feel, and look of the original, delivering vintage-inspired tones and player-friendly upgrades. Finished in a stunning Sixties Cherry, it’s built for the stage and the studio.

Signature Features for the Modern Player

• Custombucker Humbucker™ Pickups: Handwired for Marcus’s signature sound, these pickups deliver the warm, expressive, vintage tones that define his music.
• Fixed Sideways Vibrola™ Tailpiece: The iconic Vibrola design is fixed for increased tuning stability and sustain while maintaining that classic look.
• Mono Wiring: Simple, stage-ready wiring ensures pure tone and easy integration with modern rigs.
• Classic ES-345 Construction: A 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple center block delivers enhanced sustain and exceptional feedback resistance. Gold hardware—including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Grover® Rotomatic® tuners—adds a touch of luxury.

Premium Playability

The rounded mahogany neck fits comfortably in the hand, measuring .875” at the first fret and .975” at the 12th fret. The Indian rosewood fingerboard features elegant acrylic split parallelogram inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets for effortless bends and smooth runs.
