I bought this Gibson ES-330 brand new in Emeryville, CA in 2012. Overall, it's in an excellent condition. There is one blemish which is behind the headstock. It's cosmetic only, therefore I am calling it "Very Good" condition.

Last week, I took the guitar to my luthier and had him to a full set-up and string replacement. I asked him to rate the condition for me. His opinion was "Very Good". He went on to say that it would be "Excellent" if not for the aforementioned headstock blemish. The blemish was caused (I think) by an on-stage "crash" with the corner of another guitarist's headstock hitting the back of mine. Two guys turning, with the guitars strapped up, and the headstocks hit each other. I didn't even notice it until I went to change strings.

Regarding cases. I have a "GATOR" hard shell case that first it perfectly, or I can have the original Gibson case. If you interested if the guitar, I could send pix of the cases.

The attached YouTube shows a guy playing on-stage with a band. The song is "Wicked Game" by Chris Issak. Hopefully it pops up in the right place so you can hear the sound, although the guitarist is a beginner ;-)
