When you start off a description with "1964 Gibson," you already know you will be in good territory. Originally priced at $250, which was only $15 less than a Les Paul Standard Burst, the ES-330 was a serious investment into the legendary 1950's p-90 sound. With a hollow body, there is an acoustic element to the 330 not found in the solid block 335; so feel free to play away on your sofa unplugged. In addition to that 1964 neck profile, this example hosts nickel hardware, bound block-inlay Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, nylon saddles, reflector knobs, and 1 11/16th inch nut width that help it fall into a very desirable spec category. An incredible example of an iconic guitar made famous by Grant Green, the only modifications to this one: replacement bone nut (original in case) and a refret (original frets in case). This was owned by a single man in Centralia, Illinois for nearly 60 years, and according to his widow, was his prized possession and played everyday since buying it new. We are sure that the next owner will feel the same attachment.
