Very nice -- love the blonde! Back in '82, I had the choice between a 347 and a new Super Reverb and a used '63 Country Gent and a new, much more expensive amp. I got the Gretsch, but have always regretted not going the other way. Now I have a blonde 335, but it's just not the same =sigh= (but I'm not sorry for the Super: a friend has one and it's too heavy for me).

Nothing ever wrong with getting a Super Reverb although Showmans are my favorites. I got my 347s when they were a lot less expensive than the are now. I tried one as an alternate to the more expensive 355s and I have never regretted my three purchases.

Mine is an '88. Love the neck, the coil splitter, and the TP-6 tailpiece!  Fred

I think I bought the LAST new ES-347 in 1993. This one was manufactured in 1991. I love the Series 7 (Dirty Fingers) pickups. Neck and action are sublime!   1971 Fender Stratocaster

Hey qblue,
My sunburst is also a '91. You mentioned yours has "dirty finger" pickups. Is that what Gibson used for all the 347s that year?

They were installed on all the ES-347's, with a maple body and necks. They are identical to the Dirty Fingers pickups that are now sold without the gold covers. They are now found on the Tom De Longe ES-335 guitar and a few others. It's a ceramic magnet containing pickup, and still considered a vintage style pickup. 1971 Fender Stratocaster
