That's such a fantastic guitar! Solid playing too. I played the surf green version in a store a couple of years ago. Was super tempted as it was easily the best modern Gibson I've ever had in my hands. But they tried selling it for way too much. Ended up with a Japanese-made 335 from the 80s with upgraded hardware. Equal mojo, a bit more of a blues voice. Couldn't be happier with what I payed for it. But whenever I see a 345 I think back of my happy 30 minutes in that store ;-)Was going through my files and realized I never put together my full playthrough of Starlight by Bethel. The song's super fun to play with awesome guitar riffage halfway through (starts at the 2:14 mark). The playthrough isn't all that special but I did take out the track so that you can hear the guitar in isolation at several parts throughout the song so that you can hear the tones in and out of the mix. Decent variety of different overdrive/modulation/delay/reverb tones throughout from the Helix.
I wish more people would do this with playthroughs, really would have helped me when I was trying to figure out how to set up P&W tones and even now it's still interesting imo to hear how others do it. Guitar is my darkest and most mid-forward of the lot and I did use the varitone at a couple spots where the part isnt at the forefront for fun. Figured it's worth a share.
