Welcome the Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-330 Reissue back to the lineup. First introduced in 1959, the ES-330 quickly became a sought-after model, and predated the Epiphone Casino by 2 years. Sporting a vintage natural finish, this hollowbody is ready to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe '59 330 reissue gets its double-cutaway shape from a maple\/poplar\/maple body. Being fully hollow, the guitar offers a big, warm, and resonant sound – perfect for unplugged play time. Although no center block is in the body, the 330 can still handle a decent amount of gain before feeding back. It's body is bound, top and back, and sports a black multi-ply pickguard, nickel hardware, and gold top hat knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA matched pair of P-90 pickups amplify the 330's voice. The bridge position uses standard windings and an Alnico 3 magnet, while the neck position pickup is underwound with a Alnico 5. This single-coil duo offers sweet warm cleans and barky overdrive. The pickups are hand-wired to its CTS volume and tone potentiometers with paper-in-oil capacitors. A standard 3-way toggle switch is located right by the pickguard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's mahogany neck is carved to an authentic 1959 profile – a chunky \"C\" shape. The neck is installed in a traditional set-neck fashion with a long neck tenon joint. The neck is topped by a bound rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and white dot inlays. Strings are loaded through the trapeze tailpiece, rest on the no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and are strung to pitch with the Kluson Deluxe tuning machines. The headstock displays the Gibson logo, nothing more, nothing less – classy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire instrument has received a VOS finish, evoking the gently aged appearance of a vintage case queen example. Complete with a Lifton reissue case, the ES-330 is back and better than ever, equal parts a great stage guitar and couch guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple\/poplar\/maple bound body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic 1959 mahogany neck profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBound rosewood fingerboard with white dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlnico 3 \u0026amp; 5 magnet P-90 pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCTS potentiometers with paper-in-oil capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic and Trapeze tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKluson Deluxe tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVOS finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifton reissue hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"A960329","offer_id":55645379068072,"sku":"59ES330VOVNNH1|||A960329","price":5999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/59ES330VOVNNH1-gibson-custom-shop-1959-es-330-reissue-hollowbody-vintage-natural-1.png?v=1781811592","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-1959-es-330-reissue-hollowbody-vintage-natural","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
