Hi friendly LPF folk! Our favorite day, NVGD that is! In this case a First Rack 1959 ES-345T, Serial Number A29822, shipped from the Kalamazoo factory on April 30, 1959. Its the second "First Rack" 345 I've owned and has all the early features. Thanks OK Guitars for providing me this killer axe! Huge neck, thin top, short leg bridge pickup, smaller choke route, black Varitone ring, etc. Has a pair of hot PAFs. Neck is a zebra, 8.4 k ohms, bridge is a rare reverse zebra, 8.2 k ohms. Perfect fret job by Gruhn. Charlie G. converted it for me to mono using a custom Creamtone wiring harness. Sounds GOOD! Original wiring harness and tuners (with mummified buttons) in the original brown case...The first First Rack 345 I had (A29663) was darn near mint so I hated to play it out. This one is in nice condition but not so clean I won't play the heck out of it. Take it easy, RAB
