The Gibson ES-330 in Tobacco Burst is a beautifully expressive hollowbody guitar that captures the soul of vintage Gibson craftsmanship with breathtaking elegance and unmistakable tone. Finished in a rich Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer, the warm Tobacco Burst highlights the stunning grain of its 3 ply maple and poplar construction, giving the instrument a timeless appearance filled with depth and character. Lightweight and resonant at just 6 lbs 2 oz, the fully hollow design delivers an airy acoustic quality that feels alive in your hands and responds effortlessly to every nuance of your playing.
Built with a classic ES body shape and traditional spruce bracing, the ES-330 offers exceptional resonance, warmth, and dynamic sensitivity. Without a centerblock, the guitar breathes openly and naturally, producing a rich, woody voice that feels organic and deeply musical. Cream binding along the top, back, and fretboard adds an elegant vintage touch, while the black 5 ply pickguard and nickel hardware complete its iconic Gibson aesthetic.
The rounded C mahogany neck provides a comfortable and substantial feel that encourages hours of effortless playing. Paired with an Indian rosewood fretboard, medium jumbo frets, and acrylic small block inlays, the ES-330 balances smooth playability with timeless style. Every chord rings with clarity, every note blooms with warmth, and every phrase feels deeply connected to the instrument’s naturally resonant character.
Equipped with a pair of legendary Dogear P-90 pickups, the ES-330 delivers a voice unlike anything else in the Gibson lineup. Warm, articulate cleans transition seamlessly into gritty vintage growl and expressive bite when pushed harder. Hand wired electronics featuring 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors provide exceptional tonal responsiveness, allowing players to shape everything from smoky jazz textures to raw blues and classic rock tones with stunning clarity and touch sensitivity.
Vintage inspired hardware completes the experience with an ABR-1 Tune O Matic bridge, elegant trapeze tailpiece, and Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons that enhance both resonance and tuning stability. Every detail of the Gibson ES-330 is crafted to celebrate the golden era of electric guitar design while delivering the reliability and feel demanded by modern players.
Whether performing under stage lights, recording in the studio, or simply enjoying the inspiring resonance of a true hollowbody instrument, the Gibson ES-330 in Tobacco Burst offers a playing experience filled with warmth, sophistication, and timeless Gibson soul. Complete with a hardshell case and Gibson accessory kit, it is a guitar designed to inspire every note for years to come.
