Gibson ES-330, Sixties Cherry #222740276

Full Description

A classic, fully hollow design

The Gibson ES-330 is a vintage-inspired masterpiece with a fully hollow thinline body crafted from 3-ply maple/poplar/maple. This lightweight design not only enhances its resonant, warm tonal characteristics but also provides a comfortable feel for extended playing sessions. Unlike semi-hollow models, the ES-330 is a true hollowbody, making it perfect if you're after a more organic, open sound. The spruce bracing ensures structural integrity and contributes to the guitar’s natural acoustic resonance, making it an exceptional choice for a range of genres.

Dual Dogear P-90 pickups

At the heart of the ES-330’s versatile tone are its two Dogear P-90 pickups. Known for their crisp, articulate voice, these pickups deliver everything from bright, clean jangle to snarling, gritty overdrive. Hand-wired to 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, they offer a clear, dynamic response that can be shaped to suit any style. If you’re exploring blues, rock, country, or even jazz, these pickups deliver classic tones with a distinctive character that makes the ES-330 a truly unique guitar.

Effortless playability with a comfortable neck

The ES-330’s mahogany neck is designed with a Rounded "C" profile, providing a natural and comfortable grip for players of all styles. The Indian rosewood fretboard is smooth and responsive, featuring 22 medium jumbo frets and classic acrylic small block inlays. With a 12-inch radius, this fretboard is perfect for both intricate chord work and expressive lead playing. From clean, jangly chords at the lower frets to searing solos higher up, the ES-330’s neck is built to provide a seamless playing experience.

Vintage aesthetics with modern reliability

The Gibson ES-330 perfectly balances vintage style with modern functionality. The guitar features a traditional trapeze tailpiece and an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge for reliable intonation and a classic look. The Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons not only enhance the guitar’s classic appearance but also provide precise and stable tuning. Finished in a stunning Sixties Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the ES-330 captures the visual appeal of a true vintage instrument while maintaining the performance and reliability needed if you're taking your playing to modern stages.
