This instrument, from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, combines the resonant acoustic character of its unique construction with the slim profile of the ES-335 to create a remarkably versatile electric guitar. Thanks to its two hand-wired P-90 pickups in the neck and bridge positions, the instrument delivers a richly nuanced tone, whilst the classic hardware remains entirely true to the specifications of the era. Naturally, the Gibson 1962 ES-330 Reissue Sixties Cherry comes in a matching Gibson hardshell case and with a signed certificate of authenticity. Thinline body made from maple and poplarIts distinctive tonal character is ensured by the basic construction, crafted according to a classic recipe, comprising a three-ply maple and poplar laminate. By omitting the centre block, as found in the ES-335, the top and back are free to vibrate unimpeded, allowing their unique acoustic timbre to unfold. The slender Slim Taper ‘C’ neck profile, in the style of the 1960s, ensures a natural playing feel. In addition, the Gibson ES-330 Reissue features a bound rosewood fingerboard, fitted with 22 frets in the historically accurate Reissue Medium Jumbo profile and featuring traditional block inlays. Gibson P-90 pickups in the Dogear designAmong the classic essential features that no well-maintained Sixties ES-330 should be without are the two Gibson P-90 pickups. These single-coil pickups, with their distinctive ‘dogear’ mounting tabs and wider coil windings, offer a tone that falls somewhere between the warm, full-bodied sound of a humbucker and the clear, attack-definition of the single-coil, and are suitable for just about anything from articulate clean and crunch sounds right through to powerful rock set-ups. Both pickups are hand-wired and each has its own controls for volume and tone.
