Gibson ES-330T Sunburst (1961)

We're told time and time again that electric guitar players need two pickups to make it all happen, and then guitars like this show up.

This 1961 Gibson ES-330T is a well-preserved reminder that a time-tested recipe can yield incredible results even if it doesn't seem as full-featured as its twin-pickup companions.

Nearly untouched from the factory with the exception of a replaced nut, this '61 ES-330T is a wonderful example of Gibson's single-pickup hollowbody thinline electric. From the sub-5.5lb weight to the slim and fast neck carve to the other-worldly sounding dogear P90 pickup, it's got that vintage Gibson tone, feel, and response that keeps players young and old coming back for more.

Single pickup guitars possess some magic we can't always seem to quantify. Why? Part of it, to us, is that you just play. The tone you're able to achieve is 100% in your hands, literally. It's simpler. It's direct. Responsive. Dynamic. Alive. No futzing with knobs, switches, etc...it's very similar to playing an acoustic guitar.

Includes original hardshell case.
