This 1981 Gibson ES-347 presents beautifully for its age, showing the character and patina you would expect from a well-loved vintage instrument. There are some light scratches and small dings throughout, along with moderate natural tarnishing on the hardware. The finish exhibits checking across the top, back, sides, and headstock, with additional checking around the neck heel that is purely cosmetic.
The frets, tuners, pickups, bridge, nut, and plastics all appear to be original. The guitar does feature an aftermarket Gotoh tailpiece with aftermarket mounting studs. The original adjustable tailpiece is included, but the original studs are not, and the original tailpiece is not compatible with the currently installed studs.
Overall, this ES-347 is a fantastic vintage example with plenty of character and a great deal of original hardware and appointments intact.
