Looks like yours is an oddity. Take a look at: Gibson ES 345 description Especially the part that says: "... Three-position toggle switch. Stereo wiring and "Y" cable. Vari-Tone built-in tone selector. Six pre-set tonalities." I've never owned a 345, but I liked the Varitone so much, I made one and installed it in a floor box. It resonates differently with each guitar I play through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarteck Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) 1962 believe it or not it was being used as a sled. took the darn thing out today to get a really good look at it and found out it was bent so it only went in 1 position! My Bad now to find out where the black cloth covered wire that is connected to a bare goes. ugh Edited March 16, 2010 by guitarteck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
