GIBSON manufactured the ES-347 TD between 1978 and 1991. This ES-335 style thinline semi-hollow body had a coil tap switch, block markers on an ebony fretboard, fine tuning tailpiece and, on earlier models, a brass nut. The ES-347 TD had a somewhat brightner tone and better sustain than most other Gibson ES guitars - due to the brass nut and they way the bridge was mounted on two 5/8" brass studs. Pickups were intially two high output Series VII Super Humbuckers but were changed to "Dirty fingers" humbuckers during the 1980s..
