A Vintage-Inspired Hollowbody with Distinctive Sound and Versatility Returns to the Gibson Lineup
The Gibson ES-330 is celebrated for its unique tone, comfortable feel, and vintage style, making it a top choice for players seeking a versatile, retro-inspired ES™-style electric guitar. Closely related to the Epiphone Casino™, the ES-330 boasts a lightweight, fully hollow thinline body constructed from 3-ply maple/poplar/maple. Its hollow design, trapeze tailpiece, and deep-set neck optimize the bridge placement for enhanced resonance and warmth. The mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded "C" profile, paired with a rosewood fretboard adorned with acrylic small block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. With a 12" radius, the fretboard is equally suited for clean, jangly chords at lower frets and expressive, high-fret bends for lead playing. The trapeze tailpiece adds both visual charm and tonal depth, while the fully adjustable ABR-1 bridge ensures precise intonation. Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons and a Graph Tech® nut further enhance the guitar’s tuning stability and aesthetic.
Powered by a pair of Dogear P-90 pickups, the ES-330 delivers both clear, bright cleans and gritty, snarling tones when pushed into overdrive. While fully hollow guitars like this can be prone to feedback, the ES-330 handles moderate gain with ease and, with careful palm and fret-hand muting, can produce unique sustain and musical expression. Whether playing blues, Americana, '60s pop, country, jazz, or rock, the ES-330 shines in a wide range of genres. It’s not just a fantastic electric guitar for stage and studio work—it’s also a perfect songwriting companion and a great “couch guitar,” thanks to its rich unplugged acoustic tone. We're excited to reintroduce the ES-330 to the Gibson lineup, giving musicians the chance to rediscover the magic of this classic, vintage-inspired instrument.
