1962 Gibson ES-330 TDC

SOLD

All-original 1962 Gibson ES-330 TDC. Has a ton of patina, and a ton of soul.

It has been honestly played for decades, non-stop. Just look at the beautiful wear on this guitar… the Custom Shop would never get it this good!

You know what I say about guitars with this type of wear: if it’s that played, it’s usually for a reason. Considering all the patina on it and the still-vibrant red, it’s probably seen more cigarrettes than sunlight, that’s for sure.

No refins, oversprays, repairs… nothing. It does have a refret, of course, as the neck heel strap button. Has a very, very old case, non Gibson. This seems to have suffered near the binding due to a third-party case hinge, causing some damage in the laminate. Not too bad or affecting much, but it’s there aesthetically. Not too obvious and only cosmetic, really. Incredibly lovely and lots of character in this one. Let the images do the talking.

100% original. It currently has a repro bridge but we will send it with a period-correct original one.
