Gibson ES-330 - Sixties Cherry with Hard Shell Case
The Gibson ES-330 - Vintage-Inspired Hollowbody with Iconic Sound
A Timeless Hollowbody Guitar with Classic Tonal Versatility
The Gibson ES-330 has been a staple of the music world for decades, loved by musicians for its distinctive sound, lightweight design, and vintage aesthetics. This fully hollow thinline guitar delivers rich, resonant tones and a smooth playing experience, making it a great option for blues, rock, jazz, Americana, and more. Whether you’re looking for a guitar to record in the studio, perform on stage, or enjoy acoustically at home, the ES-330’s warm, vintage sound shines through.
Fully Hollow Thinline Design with Maple Construction
Crafted with a 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body, the Gibson ES-330 delivers a resonant and warm tone, accentuated by its fully hollow body. The combination of the lightweight body and trapeze tailpiece adds both visual appeal and tonal character, providing a perfect blend of sustain and resonance. The guitar’s spruce bracing helps shape the classic hollowbody tone, and the rounded "C" mahogany neck ensures a comfortable playing experience, whether you’re strumming chords or playing lead lines.
Dogear P-90 Pickups for Vintage Tones
The ES-330 is equipped with two Dogear P-90 pickups, providing everything from bright, clear clean tones to gritty, snarling overdrive. These hand-wired pickups, paired with 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, produce a sound that’s equally at home in 60s pop, rock, country, and blues. The fully hollow design adds an extra dimension of resonance to the P-90s, giving your tone a distinctively warm and open character. While fully hollow guitars can be prone to feedback, the ES-330 handles gain with surprising control, making it a unique and versatile option for players who want something different.
Premium Playability and Classic Aesthetic
The 12-inch fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets on the Indian rosewood fretboard ensure smooth and effortless playability, perfect for both rhythm playing and intricate lead work. The Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons provide excellent tuning stability, and the ABR-1 bridge offers precise intonation. Whether playing clean or overdriven, the ES-330’s tone can be shaped to fit a wide range of styles.
Finished in a classic Sixties Cherry with a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the ES-330 captures the vintage Gibson aesthetic while maintaining modern playability.
Perfect for Stage, Studio, or Home
The ES-330 is more than just a guitar for the stage; it’s also a fantastic tool for songwriting and can even be enjoyed acoustically, unplugged. Its warm, resonant sound makes it ideal as a “couch guitar” for those quiet, unplugged moments. When it’s time to plug in, the ES-330’s versatility and unique tonal character make it stand out in any mix.
