Description
Cosmetic Condition: We recently acquired this gorgeous, all original ES-330 TDC from the original owner who kept in great shape. There are various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & finish checking. The cherry finish is very strong & the guitar has a marvelous acoustic resonant tone.
Neck: Slender profile mahogany neck with nicely aged cream binding. Beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays. Frets show some light wear, but have plenty of life in them. Kluson Deluxe tuners in perfect working condition. 1 9/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Double-bound, hollow maple body with dual F-holes. Trapeze tailpiece with ABR-1 bridge & nylon saddles; chrome hardware. 5-ply black pickguard has warped a little bit, but no cracks or breaks. Guitar weighs 5 lbs 14.5 oz.
Pickups: P-90 single coils with chrome covers. Bridge - 8.84K ohms; Neck - 8.37K ohms. Good, strong output from both pickups. Dual volume & tone controls with black "top hat" knobs; 3-way toggle switch.
Playability / Sound: Nice, low action - plays like a brand new guitar. Smooth, comfortable neck - very easy to play. Clear, rich tone with superb resonance & warmth.
Case: Vintage Gibson black "elephant" case with gold interior. The names John & Phil are written in black marker on the outside of the compartment lid.
