Gibson ES-347 S

Guitar USA manufactures some years only 1978 1992 so luxurious hyper driv of 355 or 335, classic gibson bridge, tasty round as 335, bne key (I say luxurious) 22 frets, gold hardware (real gold plated directly from the mine) magnificent mcaniques oil bath, fine tuning to the bridge (really unnecessary, the guitar does not move but good) 2 2 volumes tonalities, a switch 3 positions plus a little classic to splitter; two good Burstbucker pickups.
Beautiful guitar !!! it is the custom of 335/355! less rating yet strangely more beautiful and versatile. Finishing dream! I have 23 years refrette 4 times including once by a great luthier am saying Lyon I will not mention the name, to the point where I had to make refretter just after .....
I also changed the jumpers creuss by time and the nut, the electronics did not boug not even the shadow of a scrouitch scrouitch in 23 years.

USE

The most enjoyable race I had a ridiculously low action makes the weight is reasonable, it is perfectly balanced, access to acute is, no default. Sound is rgal while is when I do not use other zicos scold me, even splitts sounds are not ridiculous. no breath.

SONORITS

Well it's an ES then we can make the Jazz, rock and a bit of everything (musette I know), I tried all kinds of wire rods of spider rope machine, the better it is 11-52, good big empty sustain, the neck pickup is a rgal it down a bit sharp and G Benson into the room, it splits to accompany him go,
Both sets microphones it is we all frequencies, cool to rock in splitt it is quieter but no change in own level is kind of hack electric and breathless,
Acute is excellent rich dfini shining firmament.
Live it all over, we feel it physically, it is a rgal.
I tried all kinds of amp (mesa, marshall, vox, fender etc ..) it sounds, it sounds, it sounds just a small trend catch on feedback marshall?

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 23 years, three refrettages, (4 causes the other $ crt *), the varnish on the forearm is a little less bright, well 23 when even ...
Under the heel at the junction varnish is gone I do not know why or where? but it is even rather pretty.
I have had numerous guitars (prs, musicman, Godin ...), it remains to me that 4 but it is that the jemmnerai that in the deserted (with current ), she has traveled the world with me, it's my best guitar without vibrato.
The price quality ratio was great matter directly USA, only the box aged badly, I would do this choice eyes closed, moreover if you see a secondhand do not hesitate, c '335 is a better, more beautiful, more sound and less chre unfairly because less rating. In addition there is no chance of getting a false Chinese copy like some other Gibson.
The most beautiful, the oldest and most good!
