Description

Summary: Introduced in 1959 to replace the discontinued ES-225, the 330 features the silhouette of the iconic 335, but is fully hollow and equipped with two punchy P90s.

Body: Thin-body, double cutaway, fully hollow maple-ply. Bound arched top and back. F-holes. Cherry nitrocellulose finish. 16″ across lower bout.

Neck: Mahogany set neck with bound rosewood fingerboard. Joins body at 15th fret. Small block inlays. 24 ¾” scale length.1 11/16” nut width.

Pickups/Hardware: Two dog ear P90 pickups. Three way pickup selector. Two volume and two tone controls with black top hat reflector knobs. Nickel hardware. ABR bridge. Trapeze tail piece. Kluson Deluxe tuners with white plastic buttons.

Cosmetics: This guitar is in amazing shape for its age. It has a beautiful deep cherry finish with no crazing and very little signs of playwear. In all respects, this guitar appears to have been played sparingly and babied in its downtime. The binding has subtly yellowed and is entirely intact. There is a small amount of shrinkage around the perimeters of the fret inlays, a very common sight on Gibsons of this vintage. Overall, this guitar has the look of a true under-the-bed find.

Playability: The action is low with no buzz or dead spots. The wider style string spacing makes room for runs and complex chording. The hollow, thin-line body is comfortable, light, and more feedback resistant that a full-depth archtop, while providing a warmer, fuller tone than a semi-hollow, a factor enhanced by the fat-sounding P90s.

Weight: 6 lbs, 1 oz.

Case: Original hard shell.
