Frequently Asked Questions
The 345's laminated body offers a more focused and controlled tone compared to the more resonant, airy sound of a full hollow-body 335. It’s less prone to feedback at higher volumes.
They're designed to emulate those tones, capturing the warmth and clarity of vintage PAFs, but with modern refinements for increased reliability and output.
While it's advertised as a Rounded C, there can be slight variations in neck thickness and shape from guitar to guitar – it's always best to try before you buy if possible.
