Product Details

Gibson ES-330TDC

This instrument is an ES-330TDC, a double-pickup ES-330TD with a cherry finish. It's a popular specification featuring the vibrant cherry color characteristic of 1960s Gibsons. The natural fading, weather checking, and tarnishing of the parts, combined with the aging process, give it a dignified appearance.

The neck joint is at the 16th fret. While the ES-330 later transitioned to a 19-fret joint, this instrument features the 16-fret joint seen up to the mid-1960s. Furthermore, the long pickguard, horn shape, and overall feel around the neck set are also natural specifications for an ES-330TDC from this period.

Serial number: 840829. According to Gibson's serial number records, this guitar is dated either 1966 or 1969. However, due to the lack of a "Made in USA" stamp, the 16-fret joint specification, and the pot date code, we have determined it to be a 1966 model.
