This is for the true guitar nut who appreciates true vintage instruments. ES 330s have several unique qualities; fully hollow, P90 Pick Ups, and a fabulous tone. Read a lot of details on Wikipedia. No one can guarantee a guitar will appreciate but these vintage Gibson’s are true instruments. Collectors will already know the ins and outs of 330s, but it would be worth reading up on the instrument. They do have their quirks. Like a wicked crunch when on full. Youtube is loaded with videos. This instrument (obviously) has a vintage Bigsby which appears to have been put on very early, perhaps at the factory. Things were less formal back then. It seems that these guitars often appear to have Bigsby bars as an after thought. On the back there is a spot of wear, about the size of small adults hand, and natural to a guitar of this age that has been played, but you’ll note in the picture that its red stain is still in place. It is now correct, and sounds blistering. Oddly, this guitar sounds spectacular when amp and guitar are dimed. Due to the unique aspects of this instrument I anticipate having it professionally packed. I will honor a 2 day review, under limited conditions. This is a right hand, normal, guitar. And I will respect a 3 day review period. The item “1962 Gibson ES-330 Full Hollow Cherry Red Guitar” is in sale since Monday, March 28, 2016.
