Hello Chuck,        The axe you axed(!) me about is a 1959 Gibson ES 345 Stereo which I procured in the early 1970s. Mark Scola was with me at the old Modern Music store on Sunrise Blvd. close to the beach, and he was of the opinion that it belonged to BLANK of the CC Riders. I was well employed at the time and I picked it up for $200. I'd still like to know if it was owned by either Harry or Allan or whoever! It is not in the best of shape. The binding has fallen off, and the fingerboard has retreated from the fret markers. Dave Stevens played it for one set at The Button, at that time, and said it sounded great , except that the problems with the neck made it a project piece, not a player.      .Its been gathering dust for about 38 years,with no repairs, and will be part of my legacy.                De Big Bamboo.............. Can't wait!!        Hope I can contain myself if I see you ,'cause my weird sense of humor is not everyone's cup of tea.  I just feel so at home here.    I shall be more restrained in future.               Your Fan,       EDDIE
