The Story

Slim Harpo Lovell ES-330 Vintage Sunset Burst

A commemorative guitar for one of Blues music's finest: this is the Gibson Slim Harpo "Lovell" ES-330! Legendary blues musician James "Slim Harpo" Moore is remembered for his hit songs like "I'm A King Bee," "Baby Scratch My Back," and "Shake Your Hips." His songs have been covered by artists such as The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and The Yardbirds. His guitar of choice was the Gibson ES-330. The Slim Harpo "Lovell" ES-330 features 3-ply maple / poplar / maple top, back and sides with spruce bracing, a mahogany neck with rounded C profile, rosewood fretboard with small block inlays, ABR-1 bridge with Trapeze tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons, Dogear P-90 pickups with hand-wired controls and Orange Drop® capacitors, and has a custom "Lovell" logo on the back of the headstock to honor Slim Harpo's life partner, manager and the co-writer of many of his biggest hits, Lovell Moore.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
