This 1966 Gibson ES-330 in Cherry represents one of Gibson's most distinctive hollowbody designs of the 1960s. Sharing the double-cutaway silhouette of the ES-335 but built without a center block, the ES-330 offers a different approach to the semi-hollow formula, emphasizing the lightweight feel and resonant character of a fully hollow instrument. Its pair of replacement Patent sticker humbuckers provide a fresh voice while preserving the spirit of the original design.
This example shows cosmetic aging many vintage Gibsons acquire over decades of use, including finish checking and general wear throughout, though nothing excessive. Replacement Grover tuners and a replacement bridge have been installed, addressing common areas of maintenance while contributing to the guitar's continued usability. The Cherry finish has mellowed alongside the instrument's natural aging, complementing the graceful lines that helped make the model a fixture of Gibson's electric lineup during the 1960s.
Includes OHSC.
