I love vintage things. I also play the guitar. It is also a good thing that you posted something like this one. It can help people who owned a 1965 GIBSON. Instead of looking for another guitar, it can be repaired. It saves money.

Excellent work. I feel your pain with accessing tricky electronics. I’d bet the stereo output sounds amazing.

Could you please help me. I require a simplified block wiring (not the Gibson schematic) diagram for the Gibson ES345 stereo.
Thank you
Regards

Brian,
About 8 years ago I ground down a male plug at the end of a 2 foot piece of cable for jack-pulling purposes and it worked fine but kept pulling apart. So I soldered it one more time, crimped down the grounding tabs, and slathered epoxy over the wire and the plug. I haven’t used anything else in years. One of my favorite tools.

that’s both a great guitar, and a frustrating problem; i’m still trying to think up new ways to work inside hollowbodies, so suggestions and tricks are welcome– i’ve made a lot of little contraptions for pulling the jack back up through its hole, and my favorites are a ground down male 1/4″ jack on a length of old guitar cable, and one of those flexible pickup magnet arms, with a mini-neodymium magnet on either side of the jack. after you pull it through, just go back through the soundhole to collect the other magnet. i’d love to know what method you use. awesome blog!
