This is a rare 1961 Gibson ES-330T for sale!!!I

I have owned this guitar since 2005. I purchased the guitar from Macaris in London. It plays beautifully and sounds fantastic plugged in and when played acoustically. The classic early 60’s neck provides a very comfortable playing experience. I have recently updated the case to a modern Gibson case for better storage, previously had a Hiscox case that was 20 years old. The guitar has cosmetic imperfections, marks and wear as should be expected from 65 years of playing and ownership.

Pick up a piece of Gibson history!!!!

Serial number for age verification is 30089 as shown in photos below.
