Product information

This 1966 Gibson ES-330TDC in its original Cherry finish is in full factory formation from headstock to endpin. It's the perfect representation of the classic mid 60s thinline hollowbody in every way.

Weighing in at 6lbs even and loaded with a set of some of the hottest P90s we've seen in one of these models to date, it's one of those guitars that just explodes with tone. Incredibly lively acoustics combined with these P90s makes it an easy grab for some unplugged home playing or hitting the stage. The narrow nut and slim C carve neck allows for super fast and easy playing as well.

This ES-330 hasn't seen much play time in its life as evidenced by how clean it is. The unfaded Cherry finish is still incredibly vibrant despite some light lacquer checking throughout, as is all of the original chrome plated hardware throughout. The original reflector knobs appear almost New Old Stock with how clear and defined the lettering is. An original nylon saddled ABR-1 works perfectly and allows for clean string movement from the trapeze tailpiece all the way to the original nut.

ES-330s are Jazz and Blues favorites for sure, but this ES-330 is a rock and roll guitar, plain and simple. These pickups sound insane - big, clear, and a little more aggressive sounding than your average 60s P90. Into a gained up amp, you might wonder why you still need your solidbody P90-loaded guitars. We're not kidding...

Just a few small nicks, surface scuffs, and some coily cable contact marks on the back keep this from being a true closet queen. All original hardware and plastics.
