The Gibson ES-330 hollowbody electric guitar is a versatile, vintage-inspired instrument with a rich history. Known for its distinctive sound and comfortable playability, the ES-330 has garnered a reputation as a favorite among musicians. Sharing a similar design to the Epiphone Casino, the ES-330's fully hollow thinline body is constructed from 3-ply maple/poplar/maple, offering warmth and resonance. Whether you're on stage, in the studio or simply enjoying the guitar acoustically at home, the ES-330 delivers a smooth, rich tone that has been cherished by players for decades.

Resonant Hollowbody With Timeless Aesthetic

The ES-330's fully hollowbody is designed for supreme resonance and tonal warmth. The trapeze tailpiece and deep-set neck create an optimized bridge location for superior sustain and dynamic response. Available in classic finishes like Sixties Cherry, Tobacco Sunburst and Antique Natural, this guitar is not only a tonal powerhouse but also a visual masterpiece. The single-ply cream binding on the top, back and fretboard adds a touch of elegance, giving the ES-330 a timeless aesthetic.

Classic P-90 Pickups for Vintage Tone

Equipped with a pair of Dogear P-90 pickups, the ES-330 offers bright, clear clean tones and snarling, gritty overdrive when pushed. The P-90s are handwired to 500k potentiometers and feature Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring that the guitar's dynamic range is preserved. Whether you're playing jazz, blues or rock, the ES-330 delivers a wide range of tones that are both articulate and powerful.

Comfortable Playability With Rounded C Neck Profile

The ES-330's mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded C profile, paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard. With 22 medium-jumbo frets and a 24.75" scale length, this guitar offers smooth playability across the entire neck. The combination of vintage deluxe tuners with white buttons and a Graph Tech nut ensures stable tuning and accurate intonation.

A Guitar for Any Setting–Stage, Studio or Home

The ES-330's rich, resonant tone makes it perfect for stage and studio use, while its fully hollowbody design means it can also be enjoyed unplugged as a "couch guitar." Whether you're recording, performing or songwriting, the ES-330 delivers a warm, inspiring sound that has made it a classic in the Gibson catalog.
