Echopark Esperanto 333 Deluxe - Under 7 lbs. Lightweight!

Denver Guitar Exchange is an authorized dealer of Echopark instruments. This is a used instrument we acquired. Please note, this guitar is also posted on our website. Some customers opt to purchase there to avoid out of state sales tax. We do our best to update all Reverb listings immediately if sold direct. This is an exceptionally rare instrument!

If you are reading this listing then you are undoubtedly aware of Gabriel Currie’s reputation for crafting sonically superior instruments with a vintage look and feel. Some of the best musicians in the world such as Joe Perry, Brendan Benson, and Charlie Starr play Echopark for good reason.

This exceedingly cool interpretation of the classic 335 design incorporates the best tonewoods from the famous Echopark stash, exceptionally crafted to create a uniquely Echopark vintage feel and tone. The Esperanto 313 is not currently offered on the Echopark website and, at the time of this writing, this is the only one on Reverb. To make this an even rarer find, it weighs just a hair under 7 lbs., rejoice! Like any great 335 style guitar, one can argue it rivals or even exceeds the Burst tone. This is the best sounding 335 design we’ve had, totally subjective, of course! The action is nice and low without any issues. The neck feels great. It’s an ideal 59 type of carve that isn’t too big and isn’t too thin. The finish is nice and thin on this one with that great Echopark vibe. There is subtle checking throughout the body, very tastefully done, like an old guitar that has only seen careful playtime and never abused with a finish has slowly begun to recede into the pores. The hardware has just the right amount of aging. Gabe took the shine off but didn’t rust it out. The back of the neck has a burst to it that is all Echopark. The stark contrast between the beautifully fully-bound blonde body and dark bursted neck isn’t something one would intuitively do but works wonderfully.
