Features
Body size at lower bout: 14". Scale length: 24 3/4" Nut Width: 1 11/16"
Finish: Original tobacco sunburst, nitrocellulose type
Materials: Solid Honduras mahogany neck; tiger flame maple top, hollowed mahogany body; solid 22 fret mahogany neck; solid ebony fingerboard with compound radius.
Hardware: All gold hardware; twin '57 Classic pickups; ABR-1 tuneamatic bridge; gold bonnet volume and tone knobs; bound tortoise pickguard; gold Gibson mini-Schaller tuners; JP monogram truss rod cover.
Notes: Ace sideman, session man, arranger and composer, Paul Jackson Jr. has worked with music legends from George Benson to Barbara Streisand. The ES-346 was designed to his specs, with a tiger flame maple top and twin f-holes. The hollowed mahogany body offers greater sustain and feedback resistance, yet is distinctly lighter than conventional solid bodies. The snakehead design peghead permits straight string pull across the nut, and the deep twin cutaway permits full access to the compound radius 22 fret fingerboard.
This example is in as-new condition, with Custom Shop certificate, unsigned warranty card, and all tags and accessories. A highly versatile instrument for the working performer, and a very hard-to find model on the vintage market.
Setup: Trussrod tension and neck relief adjusted; bridge height adjusted; bridge compensation set; bridge wheels and tuners lubricated; fingerboard and bridge oiled; body and neck cleaned and hand polished.
