1960 Gibson ES-330 TDN
First released in 1959, the fully hollow body ES-330 guitar shares the body shape
of its older sisters the ES-335, ES-345 and ES-355.
Fitted with powerful P-90 single coil pick-ups, it is a perfect guitar for jazz, blues and rock music.
It was used by such greats as Grant Green, Tony Joe White, Roky Erickson and Keith Richards.
This stunning 330 is finished in the rare and desirable natural finish
and features lovely figured top and back.
Plus it has some of the sought after ‘59 features:
gold bonnet knobs, Mickey Mouse ears, bumblebee caps…
Definitely one of the prettiest 330 we’ve come across, it sounds and plays superbly.
The neck has a slim round profile, and the pickups are very well balanced.
In fact the bridge P90 is the hottest one we’ve come across on 330s and Casinos: it measures 9.25Ω!
Comes complete with its original brown Lifton case.
