A close cousin of the Epiphone Casino™, the ES-330 shares a similar lightweight, fully hollow thinline body made of 3-ply maple\/poplar\/maple. It is supremely resonant and warm-sounding due to its hollow body, trapeze tailpiece, and deep-set neck that creates an optimized bridge location. The mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded “C” profile and features a rosewood fretboard with acrylic small block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The 12” fretboard radius is equally comfortable whether you’re playing clean and jangly chords at the first fret or searing lead lines with heavy string bends up high. The trapeze tailpiece adds to the visual and sonic appeal of the ES-330, while the fully adjustable ABR-1 bridge ensures spot-on intonation. The Vintage Deluxe tuners feature white buttons for even more visual flair and, along with the Graph Tech® nut, help keep this thinline hollowbody solidly in tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-330 is powered by a pair of Dogear P-90 pickups that are hand-wired to 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors for bright and clear clean tones and wonderfully nasty, snarling tones when overdriven. Feedback? Sure–any fully hollow guitar can be prone to feedback and probably isn’t the first choice for ultra-high gain and volume situations, but the ES-330 can be surprisingly easy to control when you apply some gain, and with some judicious palm and fretting hand muting, it will sing and sustain in a unique and musical way that most other guitars can’t match. For blues, Americana, 60s pop, country, jazz, rock, and more, the ES-330 is a great choice. The ES-330 is not only a fantastic-sounding electric guitar for stage and studio use but is also equally enjoyable as a songwriting tool and is considered by many to be the ideal “couch guitar” since it can be enjoyed just as well when unplugged and played acoustically. We’re proud to bring the ES-330 back to the Gibson catalog so players can once again have the opportunity to discover the magic of this distinctive-sounding, vintage-inspired classic.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully Hollow Thinline 3-ply Maple\/Poplar\/Maple Body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMahogany Neck with a Rounded \"C\" Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosewood Fretboard with Acrylic Small Block Inlays and 22 Medium Jumbo Frets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Dogear P-90 Pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage Deluxe Tuners\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardshell Case Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45793976647895,"sku":"210000067364","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0468\/6148\/4199\/files\/g-2390.jpg?v=1729612760"},{"product_id":"gibson-1956-es-225t-sunburst","title":"Gibson 1956 ES-225TD, Sunburst","description":"\u003cp\u003eA far more rare and often overlooked model, the ES-225 is special for its hybrid jazz\/rock approach, combining the best of both worlds to create a great model and sound.

A early production model, this '60 still has the dot neck and large C neck profile. At some point, humbuckers were added to this guitar, although the brand of them is not clear. They sound great with a hot output bridge and equally biting neck pickup. It is perfect for so many genres, and a deal for someone looking for a thinline fully hollow archtop with humbuckers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example has had some work done to it over its history, including replaced humbuckers instead of the stock P-90s. The wiring harness, tuners, bridge were replaced as well, probably at the time the pickups were changed. The original pickguard was modified to fit the slightly larger humbuckers.

That's what Wes Montgomery was onto back in the 60's when he acquired his L-5 with a single neck humbucker. Made as an homage to that guitar, we present this 2014 Gibson L-5 Wes Montgomery model in a very tasteful sunburst finish. Known as the ultimate jazzbox, this unique L-5 model is special for its single pickup in the neck position, as well as all solid wood construction including a carved spruce top and solid maple back and sides. This example has a well repaired headstock crack so we have priced it accordingly, perfect for the gigging jazz player who can feel comfortable bringing this around town. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSigned by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJames D.
