Looks more 355 than 345, but who knows? Very odd headstock overlay.

Not a Gibson. :hank

wow if anybody bought that thinking it was a Gibby...when you don't know you don't know...i mean i don't really know..

Many parts of that guitar look to be produced by gibson, but that headstock is not gibson.

Looking closely it looks like there is a 'seam' on the headstock almost where a 'stinger' would be. Perhaps this was a snapped headstock situation where the headstock was completely replaced.

The checking, finish, binding work, etc do not appear 'japanese', and look authentic for a gibson built instrument.

i had a 345 in 1968...looks like they took off that part..and just left the bridge..body is like original..maybe

I love how lopsided the headstock is.
