Gibson and Marcus King have joined forces for another signature guitar inspired by King’s legendary 1962 ES-345, aka “Big Red” – a guitar that was passed down from his grandfather to his father, then to him.
At first blush, you might ask what’s the difference. The new Marcus King ES-345 has the same big-bodied semi-hollow charm, the gold hardware and Sixties Cherry finish. But this is a slightly more streamlined version of the Custom Shop ES-345 version that debuted in 2019.
