Today we are reviewing the new Gibson Nashville ES-345. Gibson fairly recently moved ES production from Memphis to Nashville. This is my first ES-345 - also known as the Johnny B Goode Back to the Future Marty McFly guitar.

“Guess you guys weren’t ready for that one, but your kids are gonna love it.”
Nice!
I was only five years old when Back to the Future originated and 6 when I first watched it at home. Nobody that age would know that that 345 Michael J. Fox was miming with was anachronistic. I wouldn't know it myself, only I have become a bit of a junky for Keith Williams' uploads to the Five Watt World.
@@ericbgordon1575 Miming??? OH, MAN!!!
Sorry @@ericstoermer7985, I assumed Michael didn't do his own playing.
This comment is literally on every single CZcams video that has anything to do with Back to the Future OR Chuck Berry. Snooze...
Norm at Norman’s Rare Guitars has a story about Back to the Future, he rented out a proper 1955 jazz box style guitar to the film, and they paid him A LOT of money to hold on to it for months. But then they saw Michael J Fox with it and decided the color didn’t work. So they went back to Norm and got that red 345, even though it’s from 1958!
And the one he used was a later year than 1958.
It didn’t ruin the movie, but I noticed right away
My non guitar playing friends didn’t care
I also noticed a a car with a food processor on the back that never could reach 85 miles an hour,but nobody noticed that either. 😂
That nothing compared to the 70's Wurlitzer 1050 in Grease...
@@jukeboxjohnnie well when you have John Travolta, Olivia Newton John and Stockyard Channing as teens, you aren’t worried about those details
I LOVE that 345. The finish, the binding, and those inlays. Perfect!
What about the online ebony exclusive version?
As the proud owner of three ES-345s, and “proper” ones with the Varitone (albeit mono) at that, I’m always happy to see the model getting a bit of love.
I like the number 2 position on the Varitone.
I think I’m the only one, though.
@@zakkwyldesliver The number 2 position is the BB King position
You are the only one ,you ok need a 🤗
The 3rd position is mine I called it first 😂
My dream guitar
There is also the ES-347 that was made for awhile in the 80's that had a brass nut, fine tune TP-6 tail piece, and higher output humbuckers with coil taps.
How does the 347 compare to a 335?
I got one in the end, 347 in ebony, real beauty, but wow, a lot of output on the pickups. I’m loving the 345🎉
@@JJT007hero - Awesome man. They are a rare diamond in the rough. I'm friends with a guy who plays one through a 1973 hand wired 100W Plexi......and it sounds incredible.
A 345 without a Varitone is just a 335 with different inlays. Not worth it at all. The people who "ripped out" their Varitones had to be tone deaf, because with the proper amp set up they could make some Fender-like out of phase sounds that no other Gibsons could. Peter Green, anyone?
So Marvin Berry was also a time traveler (since he's got a guitar that wouldn't exist for 3 years ... and wouldn't be sold for 4).
They got it from Norman Harris at Normans Rare Guitars. He originally lent them a period correct guitar, but they wanted one with the whammy bar, so he gave them the 345.
@@chrisnichols2395 You and you're "facts" ... I choose to believe that Marvin Berry was indeed a time traveler as well, gone back to kickstart rock-n-roll because in his timeline the whole hip-hop nonsense started in 1962 and prevented funk from happening.
Had a Bassman on stage too, didn’t he?
Cool, but not a 345 (or 355) without the varitone. Makes no sense to leave out something so associated with the model when it can easily be bypassed. Yes, skip the stereo output jack, but give us everything else Marty had.
Love the looks of a 345. Absolute classic. Looks better with the varitone.
I just got this identical guitar earlier this week. A 2023 es-345. Beautiful cherry top. I’m totally ok with not having the varitone or stereo outputs as that’s a common mod on vintage models. The neck feels great. Not a baseball bat but not too thin.
Wasn’t planning on buying but saw it at a shop last week and fell in love.
This video is from February 2023. In November 2022, I grabbed up a Yamaha SA2000. Though the body finish is wine red and it features rectangle inlay in lieu of rhombus inlay, it otherwise is synonymous with the modern 345. It was the semi-hollow companion to the Yamaha SG2000 of the same era; they are photographed together near the start of a book I have called Electronic Musical Instruments. After I began learning to play and learning about the different models, I discovered Yamaha must've modeled the SG after the Gibson version and the SA after such a 345 model as this one. I personally feel better about having gotten it than if I had struggled to get the Gibson rendition.
You're now talkin' bang-for-the-buck, @Cataclysmic Conver.ter it is unfortunate that the SG models Yamaha came out with in the late 70s are now searching the same premiums as the Gibson renditions. However though, that's also a testament to their quality.
I have a 1983 Yamaha sa1200s I marvel at the craftsmanship. Mine is wine colored and the 40 year old binding has a Carmel patina. I'm in love with that guitar!!!
@@ericbgordon1575 My dream guitar is a '72 sg 85.
I had an Ibanez Roadstar series 2. Not actual guitar but same model That was used in the audition scene. I Was homeless about 20years ago and pawned it for $50. Biggest regret. Also had a. Cheap nylon acoustic, when I was 5 my parents were touring with slim dusty. slim dusty gave me for my 5th birthday. Got $15 for that.
Kills me inside when I think about it.
You did what you had to do. More importantly, you are still here with us, every day is a gift.
Pretty cool to be touring with Slim Dusty, at times I'm sure that was difficult, yet rewarding.
Thanks for sharing Kristopher. 👍😉
I was excited when I saw the title but That is NOT Marty McFly's guitar!
No Bigsby. No Gold hardware. No Veritone. The ACTUAL Back to the Future guitar has all of that PLUS the original tailpiece studs. I have been looking for one in that configuration for quite some time.
Gorgeous 345! I’m so glad that Gibson finally decided to get rid of the goofy stereo output (which couldn’t be run in mono without modification) and the equally goofy Varitone! The 345 was actually the ES-345TDSV for Stereo and Varitone. Cherry ones were ES-345TDCSV-T for Thin (although they never came any other way), D for Double pickup, or Double cutaway, I’m not sure which-C for Cherry finish, SV for Stereo and Varitone. Originally the standard finish was Sunburst, with Natural (TDN) available for a small upcharge. Cherry replaced Natural after a couple of years. They could be custom-ordered without Stereo and Varitone, but most of them have those. The ES-355 came standard in the SV configuration, in Cherry, and I think the V stood for Vibrato. I’ve seen three different vibratos on those-early ones had the sideways Vibrola with a really long lever, later they went to the Lyre Vibrola, and quite a few 355s had Bigsbys. Gold hardware was standard on both the ES-345 and the ES-355. I had a ‘67 345 in Cherry in the early ‘70s-this new one looks a lot nicer! No stereo or Varitone-I hate those things! and chrome hardware? Cool! My kind of 345!
Chuck, it’s me Marvin, Marvin Berry! Listen to this!🎉
Both very nice guitars - but if I had a choice I would go for that beautiful 345 - just love that colour.
I have a traditional red 345 with varitone, a white 355 with varitone and split like the Alex Lifeson version and a custom walnut 355 with varitone.
They used a 1963 ES-345 TDC with a bigsby. They were going to use a 1954 fender stratocaster, but picked up a ES-5 instead. Later they brought it back because the director wanted a "red guitar with a vibrato"
I LOVE the varitone. It makes the ES-345 and 355 extreeeemely versatile guitars that are great for anyone doing a gig that would normally require a Les Paul, a Strat/Tele and perhaps a Gretsch with Filtertrons. I play in an ABBA tribute where multiple guitars would normally be a requirement, but after having picked up my 73' Gibson ES-355, that gig is now overall a one guitar show - except for the 3-4 songs that require me to play an acoustic.
I would rather bring an ES guitar with a Varitone to a recording session than have to lug 3-5 guitars with me.
Vg pu decal on top of its sticker lol
Congratulations on climbing to the summit of the Mole Hill and earning a Gold Medal Scott
You just won the fabulous Wallmart award for the very first comment wooohooo you absolutely amazing 🍪 🍪 🍪
@@rondobondo6600 thanks RONDO !😃
@@sgt.grinch3299 thank you Sgt! 😃
Just seen a yt video of Tom Murphy scraping the binding on a guitar,if he's the guy that worked at Gibson,I can see why everyone wants one of his builds,he really knows his stuff.
Tom Murphy had a reputation back in the mid to late 90s. I grew up about 100 miles from his shop in southern Illinois, and the general consensus was, “If you have old stuff you want repaired, take it to that dude on Virginia Street in Marion. He knows what he’s doing”
Gibson should honor Michale J Fox with his own signature model with exact specs as in the movie and call it " the Mcfly" . (If they havent already).. just sayin. Would be awsome
More love? A 345 is EXACTLY my favorite guitar!!
I picked up a Cherry 335 from the Gibson Demo Shop. Superbly built, overall. I will say though, that the T Type pickups were a little bright for my taste. But once I rolled off a little tone, they fell right into vintage
I have a blue burst (different from blueberry burst) 335 from the demo shop with the T-type pickups and have the same observation about how bright and shrill they sound when dimed.
Once the volume and tone are rolled off they sound decent. I'm not sure who or what type of music that bright sounds is intended for, but it doesn't really fit a 335/345. I think 57 classics would sound much better in it.
Still waiting for Eminence to release a 85" Marty McFly guitar speaker!😀😃😄😁😆
I prefer the Eastman T486 ! Check them out. Real quality !
True 'dat. Gibson can't touch Eastman quality (or price!). I've played a few Eastmans, and they were all absolutely immaculate construction. Also, the inside shots of that 345! Holy moly, a bit of a sloppy hack job there with the glue everywhere, and the splintering. Gibson, take some pride in your work for gosh sakes! 🙄
If it doesn't have a varitone it's not a 345 or a 355.
An Ebony 345 with gold hardware is definitely one of my bucket guitars… and one of the few HB guitars I’m interested in. Sounds Great.. Thanks Trogly!
Originally, ES 345s came with gold plated hardware and a Varitone, as did the ES 355. Many 345s came with factory installed Bigsbys. ES 355s often had the fancier Gibson Vibrola trem system-not the one used on SGs and Melody Makers, but the more sophisticated version. 355s also came with gold plated hardware, and some had factory installed Bigsbys. Both were originally wired in stereo. If there was no trem system, they had a stop tail piece through the mid ‘60s; later, a trapeze tail piece. The stop tail piece makes 335s, 345s, and 355s more desirable on the vintage market. Great guitars, and cheaper than a vintage 335.
PS ~ ES 345s originally had rosewood finger boards, while 355 boards were ebony.
IMO, a 345/355 needs to have a Varitone. Especially a 345…without it, it’s just a gussied up 335. The 355 at least has an ebony board.
Very nice looking 345! Great fretboard! Sounds good
Love the intro "What's the deal with the 345 anyway" hilarious
No bigsby??
Thanks for mentioning the Dove. I have a ‘65 that sounds great.
ES 345 and 355 guitars originally came stock with gold plated hardware, except for the tuners. ES 345s are totally underrated.
The varitone made the 345 really versatile, particularly in the studio. You just need to find the sounds that work for you. They fly under the radar a bit due to the pedigree of the 335, but are outstanding guitars.
Love the red 345!
I would have expected a Chuck Berry Johnny B Good riff.
How does Gibson decide whether to use a 'LIGHT WEIGHT' or 'FULL WEIGHT' tailpiece?
Good god polly wog that is a beautiful top !...Ive got a Cherry ES-335 which I love , never knew the 345 had the extra binding ...Thanks Trog !
Great sounding guitar
The tops are considered laminated. It has a long history is hollow body/semi hollow body. It helps reduce feedback.
Great top. That's going to be a real looker once the years have been put on it.
Have you ever looked at the uncommon Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion series of guitars. Ive had mine since about 1998. It’s kind of like the ES-335 meets the Les Paul. Great guitar.
Trogly: “The 335 was introduced in 1958. The 345, a year later.”
Back to the Future takes place in 1955.
A slim margin of the audience gives a shit, then or now. Chuck Berry never had a cousin called Marvin playing in a fictional town either. Spoiler: it's a movie and the time machine never existed.
IMO the wood grain makes that guitar plus I’m a sucker for cherry on any Gibson ES.
ES345's usually have gold hardware. I played one, and it was fantastic, the one I played had the veritone, and I liked it. It was vintage sunburst, and that's the one I'd want.
Good evening
You made the podium for today and earned a Bronze Medal Brother
Congrats on the Bronze
The 345 is my bucket list guitar.... someday it will be mine !!!
i could be wrong, but it looks like yours doesnt have a label in the f-hole?
i bought one of these 345 last year, and absolutely love it (mine came with an ES335 label in the f-hole)
I agree with you. I'm a flame top nut, but I love the cherry top you're displaying in this video. It's really beautiful!
ES -> “Electric Spanish” Hmm … learned something this evening … Thanks!
That is a really nice top! The movement alone...
Wait so if the 345 was first introduced in 1959 then historically it couldn't of existed when Marty was playing it because he what back to November 12 1955........confused about that one 🤔
58/59 - yes, the movie guys "famously" messed that up!
20 odd years ago, I saw a listing on eBay for the guitar that wasn't used in the film. I don't remember the model, but they decided to go with the 345 because it looked cooler.
@@torg3481 I think they chose the ES-345 so they could tie in the Chuck Berry part of the story (Johnny B. Goode riff).
You have no problem with the time travelling delorean though? Good grief.
@@rexrathtar3893 nope no problem at all.
Very first electric guitar is a Harmony Rocket ES 335 1969 bought and made which I still have and is in mint condition. I still play it and are currently making a comeback thanks to Dave Grohl and Wolfgang Van Halen
Evening all!! Great Scott, that's a beautiful guitar!!
But why's it so heavy? Is there a problem with earth's gravitational pull?
I began to wonder for the first time; was Marty happy about getting to play a vintage Gibson through a vintage tweed, or would he have preferred a Kramer and a Peavey for those 80s metal tones!? 😂
Trogly, you are no Eric Clapton, but your a good enough player to demo any guitar and you really have some nice, high end guitars that Id like to hear more from. If you could improve how you record them and give us some more tones and styles to hear, you could make the vids a bit longer to generate more ads and people would def enjoy hearing more of the guitars. Thank you for reading, love your content.
I love that sunburst but the both are amazing
i love that u play the guitars and give us a demo, i understand that it must be scary but it adds a depth to us who just look for like *how do they sound tho?!* and go by that metric 😌
My China built semi hollow Ibanez bass is put together inside with loads more care... and without the tooling marks on the fretboard. Looks like Gibson don't give a damn.
I want a neon orange ( front, back, neck and headstock) 345 with two DiMarzio Super Distortion double white humbuckers and the veritone.
Hi love the review, could you tell me if the frets are still finish using that terrible plek method? TIA
The current 345 Gibson offers is no 345. No varitone is just a 335 with trapezoid inlays and bindings.
Neck pickup at 12:57 sounds awesome
Thanks for the 345 review love em
his first was an ibanez road star SERIES before he went back 1955.. what no ibanez love lol..
I really like this guitar. I have wanted to own at least one 335 for year's, but this 345 is really a nice instrument too. Maybe I need one of each?
Regarding the serial number: the 108th day of 2022 was on the 18th of April. Don’t care for the harsh and spikey-sounding T-type humbucking pickups. Prefer the unpotted, AlNiCo II 1950s PAF-type and style of humbucking pickups; articulate, powerful, and with clarity.⚡⚡⛮ 🔳🔊
man i loved that tone and the way that wood grain danced it looked like fire i think ive been biten by the 345 bug!
A few years ago I was offered a 1959 ES-345 stereo in blonde, it was one of a pair bought by the band, the other later sold and owned by Justin Haywood of Moody Blues until he sold it back to the original owner. Odd thing about the one I was offered was it has inlays on the first fret. The seller wanted £15k which was well above my budget and too much for one with 40+ years of gig wear on it.
If it has an inlay on the first fret, it's a 1961. It was a feature that only occured in that year, and not on all of them.
@@williamsanders Thank you, I was inspired to do a bit of research today and indeed they were bought new here in the UK in 1961. The owner said it was a '59 probably to get a higher price.
It is very cool but, Marty's had gold hardware and a gold bigsby
Beautiful guitar on the outside, but for over $3 grand, I was surprised to see how much slop was left on the inside. Wood shavings, splinters, and lots of glue squeeze out. Is that normal? I guess I'm just used to my Martins.
if i dont have 3x 335 type gibsons i would definitely need a 345 it looks awesome
The cherry-one is great Like it 👍😊
While the burst is beautiful, that red head stole the show!!! What a looker 😍😍😍…. And that binding is so hawt!! 🤘🎸🤘
I wonder what Trogly thinks about the J-160E
Marty's guitar was actually an Ibanez Roadstar. Excellent guitars!!!
No Varitone's?! BLASPHEMY! 🙁
I have a Memphis 355 in sixty's cherry finish very pretty guitar.
HAVE YOU EVER DONE A REVIEW ON THE ES 195? JUST GOT ONE IN TRANS AMBER.
Pretty sure he has reviewed an ES-125 and a ES-175. I'd imagine those are close to the same sound, just not as pretty as the ES-195.
Ooooo! That's purdy! that red wood and finish are just gorgeous!
I literally thought he was gonna review the ORIGINAL back to the future ES-345, the one with the Bigsby etc
Are you ok Trogly? You don't seem like your usual self. No explanation needed, just to let you know, anything that you are going through will in time pass. We love you very much, you videos are my favorite.
Take it easy fella.
Salutations Austin!
That’s a pretty nice ES-345, it has some very nice grain, and a nice finish, although it is one of the more common finishes on the ES-335’s, 345’s, and 355’s, it has a lot of movement for that style of top.
It sounds great too!
Thank you for posting these videos!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
☀️✨🎸
The Freddie King guitar, red 345
Evver thought of doing an Aria Pro II MIJ Flying V or similar?
Ours kicks butt. A real beauty in sight and sound.
Those Aria guitars lack nothing.
I wish they’d do a 345 on the trans black finish. That finish was so underrated
You don’t like the 345 online ebony exclusive?
Hey Trogley, how do you get mid March? 108 would be mid April, or how is it figured, maybe I’m doing it wrong. I noticed one of us was yesterday, too.
👍
Greetings Andy
👍😉
I will state the obvious. The 345 sounds wonderful.
When I read the title I thought you were talking about the little yellow guitar he uses in the first scene, now I need you to review that one! Lol
Erlewine Chiquita tell me what's wrong...
@@rexrathtar3893 I never knew the name of the instrument, epic
Nice you are reviewing some current production USA models. We do love seeing vintage gorgeous instruments, but lets face it, the vast majority of the audience here will buy a USA model guitar, not a custom shop or a vintage one. Nice!
Martys guitar had gold hardware....with a gold bigsby added plus the inlay at the 12th fret was solid and not split.....nice guitar though.
What do you think about the CS356 ? Have you ever done a review on them if not please take it into consideration.
When the first came out they cost 3,000 I almost bought one but none were in stock at the time so I bought a 1957 reissue Gibson Black beauty .
Gibson later stoped listing them at the stores. Now they cost 5500.00
I hope someday epiphone does a version of a 345. The Marty McCoy model needs the bigsby. And I would be happy to modify an epiphone. I wouldn’t want to spend all that money on a Gibson 345 put one on it
That is actually a genius idea. Marty McFly signature model.
345 all day long
I have a cherry 335 I put lollar novel 90s in to replace the humbuckers
Pretty sweet guitar
Will you ever get a Byrdland????
That Cherry red is cool!
McFly!!! Hey Austin, would it be uncool or wrong to swap out the tuners with locking tuners?
I have a Gibson ES 333 from 2002 that has a "custom shop" ABR bridge mount....directly in to the body. Weird.
