Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Maple/Poplar Top, Back, and Sides, Mahogany Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Natural

A Stunning Tribute to Gibson’s Golden-era Hollowbody

Wielding a superb natural resonance, the Gibson ES-330 is the double-cut descendant of Gibson’s historic fully hollow archtop guitars and a fraternal twin to the legendary Epiphone Casino. This guitar’s 3-ply maple/poplar top, back, and sides sing with a lively acoustic-like feel even when unplugged — a feature further aided by the rich overtones of its classic trapeze tailpiece. Gibson ES-330s have come in a variety of neck joints over the years, and our vintage Gibson fanatics are thrilled that this guitar comes with the same deep-set neck joint found on the original golden-age models. Next, two Dogear P-90 pickups handwired with premium 500k pots and Orange Drop capacitors tackle everything from rockabilly rhythms to jazzy elegance to hard-hitting rock licks without batting an eye. To match this guitar’s decidedly old-school vibe, the mahogany neck brandishes a chunky Rounded “C” profile and a bound Indian rosewood fingerboard with acrylic small block inlays. Crowned with classic white button Vintage Deluxe tuning machines, the ES-330 marks the return of an all-time Gibson classic in all its fully hollow glory.

Fully hollow 3-ply maple/poplar body

The ES-330 features a fully hollowed-out body — no center block necessary. This model’s robust natural projection never fails to impress on first strum, boasting a premium 3-ply maple/poplar construction that’s loud and lively enough to inspire hours of unplugged woodshedding. What’s more, this resonance gives the ES-330’s plugged-in tone an open, airy, and overtone-rich voice. Whether you’re strumming away on the couch or dishing out singing solos onstage, the ES-330’s hollow body offers a distinct and alluring tone like no other.

Vintage-voiced P-90 pickups

Snarl, bark, and bite — almost every description of the mighty P-90 pickup starts with one of these dog-adjacent descriptors, and the ES-330’s dual Dogear P-90 pickups more than live up to that roaring reputation. These pickups capture the golden-age voice of a vintage P-90, sporting a pronounced midrange bump, round lows, and chiming highs. Paired with the lush sonics of this guitar’s fully hollow body, Gibson’s Dogear P-90s deliver a full-bodied clean warmth that’s perfect for blues, jazz, and rock guitarists after a more complex voice than the typical semi-hollowbody or solidbody instrument.

Rounded neck carve and Plek’d frets for optimized playability

Comfort and playability were Gibson’s primary concerns when designing the ES-330. You’ll be delighted at how this guitar’s Rounded “C” neck profile comfortably fills your hand in just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the Gibson ES-330’s dark rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and bound with rolled edges so no fret ends impede your dexterity. The frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’ll likely own.
