The Story

ES-330T Sunburst 1959

This is quite honestly the perfect rhythm players guitar! A 1959 ES-330T model in Sunburst, with a single Gibson dogear P-90 sat right in the middle of the body for a warm and well-rounded tone. The guitars electronics are all original as well as the non-wire ABR-1 bridge. The frets are original and are still in great shape, with only light wear to be seen on them. The neck has a great feeling slight "V" neck profile we love 1959 Gibsons for! As far as changes go, there is a strap button added at the neck heel, changed control knobs, non-original Grover tuners, and the guitar is missing the original pickguard. The guitar plays wonderfully, and includes a 1960s Victoria hardshell case.
