This Gibson Custom Shop ES-330 Reissue Prototype in Vintage Sunburst is a genuine standout in Gibson's ES lineup. A lightweight, fully hollow archtop built to exacting 1950s-spec dimensions, with a 16th-fret neck joint and neck angle that give it a comfortable, inviting feel. It's loaded with a pair of scatter-wound P-90 "dog ear" pickups on aged nickel-plated bases, wired with an original-spec harness that delivers the chimey, barky midrange complexity these guitars are known for; loud enough to be miked acoustically, and genuinely alive whether played plugged in or not. This particular example was documented as the final prototype used to set the benchmark specification before the model's official 2012 release, and the line went on to earn Guitar Player magazine's Editors' Pick that October. It comes with provenance and has been kept meticulously throughout its life. This is a genuinely special, well-documented ES-330 with real historical significance behind its exact specification
Includes OHSC.
