1969 Gibson ES-330 Description

1969 Gibson ES-330 Cherry Red – A truly tone-filled vintage Gibson thinline with twin humbucking pickups dating from 1969. Imagine a hollowbody 335  with bright P-90 pickups. It’s lightweight – a great advantage when you’re on stage for a few hours – as it’s a true hollow-body guitar. No blocks inside just air, resonating and helping the woodiness come through.

This is a truly great blues/funk and jazz guitar in very good original condition. Unlike the earlier 330s, this model has same neck access to the higher frets as the 335, giving you the chance to chime those high top notes. The guitar also comes with the original lined Gibson case for the full vintage package.

P-90s can growl and they can chime – but they always work well on a 330 (same as the Epiphone Casino) thanks to the sheer acoustic volume and resonance of this guitar. Wonderful neck with a slim fast fingerboard and a tone to die for too. If you haven’t played an ES-330 then you are really missing out on one of Gibson’s finest designs.

    Gibson ES 330 long neck A pleasure to buy from someone who is as knowledgeable and a genuine enthusiast. The guitar is fabulous; I can't fault it. It came very nicely set up, with a good set of strings. Hope to be back when my bank balance has recovered. Having said that, I think I got it for a fair price
