????Description:The ES-347 is a confusing model since there isn’t a lot of talk about them despite being around from 1978-1991. There were ~4 different generations of them but the jist of things is – a 347 is a step above a 335/345, but not quite as fancy as the 355. It had many tone enhancing features like brass sustain sisters, brass nut – posilock strap locks – TP-6 Tailpiece and gold hardware with ebony fretboard and block inlays. Being a norlin era model – it features a 3 piece maple neck.
This one caught my attention on Reverb since finding a Silverburst semi-hollow from the norlin era is exceedingly rare. The wonky looking serial number 72089xxx caught my attention too because I know of two other guitars like this that are highly likely Winter NAMM 1980 showpieces. The custom color and that serial seems to back that up! What a cool piece. I have a new-found respect for this model now

So if this is a collection of many peoples orders, what happens to those people? They just lose out in their paid money? Because theres no way that E-Bay AliExpress and the like are going to make those people square…and these manufacturers are almost definitely not refunding that kind of money…i dont see this as at all ethical when the only people being punished is the buyers, a better approach would have been attacking the vendors, blocking their sites, and fining them for allowing Chinese companies to sell these products on their platform…just look at Reverb, you simply arent allowed to sell Knock offs there,
I don’t like gold hardware at all!!
Great video!
Thank you
Gold hardware on silverbust is a truly awful look ????
Horrible pickups , ear splitting shriek
this thing rips.
what the fuck? i thought it would sound dead and not at all alive.
how cool is that.
TP6 tailpieces are great, and I do indeed use them as it says on the box, and I am not playing fancy jazz chords.
Also if the string goes slightly sharp, it is quicker to roll off on the small knob to lower the pitch rather than the main tuner.
TROGG!!!
My ES-347 is a special ordered 23 3/4" neck. Very easy for jazz chords and is great for stumping rock jams. I have never seen another short scale 347. Mine is also in elegant black and gold. Bought at American Music Co. Odessa, Texas 1979.
Thank you
I was wondering if you keep all of your guitar in tuned or do you take the tension off the neck?
4:15 THAT'S MY GUITAR!!! A 1979 ES-347 in Antique Sunburst bought from Ish Guitars, and now living with me in Chile, South America. In fact, I'm playing it right now, hahahaha… how funny to see it on this chapter!
Had a '79 S.G. (Bought it for 1/2 a G)
I have a 78 LP in silver burst…
Both my first 2 electric guitars in the early 80's were adorned with brass parts! It was the cool thing back then…
splicing pickup wires – i‘m shocked! ????
What’s the bout size…?
Interesting tailpiece…what pickups are on that?
Trump is going to deport all “silver bursts”
Nice, I always liked the silverburst Gibson's, I have a 79 blonde es 347 that has been re freted with jumbo frets it plays very nice and a 82 that's all original in antique burst and almost mint condition, they are by far the best guitars I've ever owned. the 79 was made in Kalamazoo and the 82 was I think made in Nashville. I read somewhere that the center block in the 347's are a bit wider than the other es guitars and I believe the neck volute went away after 81also when you're in single coil mode it's the outside coils that are working, the one closest to the neck or to the bridge. thanks for showing some light on these guitars they were never very popular and they are some of Gibsons finest.
Silverburst looks better on the 345 , 347 then it does on a LP and it actually looked cool with the rail pups in it to me . Also I think I want 335 style guitars with a Kahler on it now, it makes more sense on a semi hollow possibly because I’ve always heard Kahler is more comparable to a bigsby as far as feel and type of smooth warbling action
I thought these had dirty fingers pickups. At least the later ones.
Gotcha, thank you for the response
SRV! ✌????
I love it! I’ve seen a couple of 347 in Natural with amazing flame in the neck ????
As soon as you hit the dirt, W????W! Single notes may have lacked slightly due to wiring issues in the bridge pu but the power chords sounded phenomenal! I was impressed! m/
I’m curious why KZ would do things differently than Nashville considering they are both the same company. Anyone have any insight?
The Brass nut is why this semi doesn't play nice with the jazz chords, but man o man does it rock with the gain cranked.
This guitar really kicks the dirt up
I have a 335 in silver burst, I love it
I prefer perimeter bursts. The teardrop burst on the ES series has Mickey Mouse ears vibes.
Even though knowing that the Humbucking mode was not quite right in the bridge, I just wasn’t enamored by the sound.
But good job reviewing it anyway.
