Description
Unplayed yet, condition as new! Great looks, fantastic sound, nice neck profile. + + + Comes with original case, accessories, certificate. + + + The premiere thinline hollowbody of all time, this Historic-spec ES-330 is captured in an iconic year when countless jazz, rock and blues players were using Gibsons for the tones that made them famous. That year was 1964 and Gibson Memphis is recreating this particular piece of history in every detail: slim taper cutaways, Kluson white oval button tuners, rolled neck binding, vintage style "no logo" potentiometers, quartered Adirondack spruce bracing-every stitch of this classic instrument has history written into it. Each potentiometer is measured, labeled & placed into matched sets then assembled by hand & matched to the Nickel Covered P90 pickups used to get the best possible tone. This Limited Run is offered in Vintage Burst and only 150 will be made.
