The Gibson ES-330 has garnered a reputation for its distinctive sound, comfortable playability, and classic aesthetics, making it a favourite among musicians seeking a versatile, vintage-inspired ES™-style electric guitar.
A close cousin of the Epiphone Casino™, the ES-330 shares a similar fully hollow thin line body made of 3-ply maple/poplar/maple and is supremely resonant and warm-sounding due to the hollow body, trapeze tailpiece, and deep-set neck that creates an optimised bridge location.
The mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded “C” profile and features a rosewood fretboard with acrylic small block inlays and medium jumbo frets.
The ES-330 is powered by a pair of Dogear P-90 pickups that are hand-wired to 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors for bright and clear clean tones and wonderfully nasty, snarling tones when overdriven.
The ES-330 is not only a great-sounding electric guitar for stage and studio use but is also equally enjoyable as a song-writing tool and is considered by many to be the ideal “couch guitar” since it can be enjoyed equally well when unplugged and played acoustically.
We’re proud to bring the ES-330 back to the Gibson catalogue so players can once again have the opportunity to discover the magic of this distinctive-sounding, vintage-inspired classic.
