One of our favorite Gibson models, this '59 Reissue really nails the vibe, tones, and feel of the old 330s. This model tends to live in the shadows of its famous sibling, the ES-335, but players of all stripes have called on a 330 (or it's cousin, the Epiphone Casino - Beatles, Grant Green, Gary Clark Jr, etc...)

If you're new to this style of guitar, they feel essentially like an ES-335 in hand. Same size/footprint, so to speak - but - they're a heck of a lot lighter and the way the notes feel under your hands certainly differs (hollow-body 330 vs semi-hollow 335). Notes tend to be a lot rounder, with a quick attack - clear, open tones surrounded by a fat, compressed bass...it's a really cool tone and playing experience.

Sure, being totally hollow it'll feedback if you're standing close to your amp, have the gain cranked way to high, etc...but they're very manageable. For the right player, this "on the verge" aspect is really, really appealing. You can let notes sustaIn and dip into feedback in a really controllable way. And no, P90s aren't "super noisy" - no more so than any other single coil.

Condition: Very Good. Light to moderate signs of play wear with some very light fret wear. Various minor pick scratches and scuffs throughout.
