  • Description: Originally introduced in 1959, the Gibson ES-330 is back with its magical, mystical blend of fully hollowbody construction, Bigsby tailpiece, and biting P-90 single coil pickups that make each note sparkling clear with a screaching midrange punch. Though similar in appearance to the popular Gibson ES-335 semi-hollow guitar, the ES-330 is a little bit different in construction and a whole lot different in sound. While the 335 is a semi-hollow guitar (that is, the center part of the body is a solid block and the wings of the guitar are hollow), the 330 is a fully hollow thinline guitar. Also, the 335 features two humbucking pickups, and the 330 features two single-coil P-90 pickups. The ES-330 guitar's body is truly hollow and has no center brace running through it, making it a lightweight, comfortable and uniquely resonant instrument. This new Custom Shop ES-330 with Bigsby Vibrato is everything the 1959 model was and more! This guitar has a one-piece Honduran mahogany neck with the long tenon. The neck is slimmer than a '59 rounded profile and ever-so-slightly larger than a '60 slim-tapered making it comfortable for any guitarist and the large 1-11/16" nut width means you'll have plenty of fingerboard real estate to peel off your favorite riffs. The ES-330 features a pair of dog-ear P90 pickups that, along with the hollowbody construction, provided the punch on great Beatles recordings such as "Taxman" and "Paperback Writer," and most of the electric guitar tracks on Sgt. Pepper.
