AlanC Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 For me one of my fave guitars is an ES 330. Great to play and have reasonably good sound when unplugged. Here are mine :-

bobouz Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Mine is a natural finish 2012 330 VOS, virtually identical to yours. Out of all the electrics I own, it is unquestionably my favorite. Wonderful guitars!

Versatile Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 For the cognoscenti who love the ES330.... Suggest they view/hold/purchase...finance permitting The rather splendid ES225... A slimline hollow P90 loaded ES175-esque tone machine V

A slimline hollow P90 loaded ES175-esque tone machine V Wow, V, That looks like a killer box! Do you own one? Pics? Can you tell me about the neck profile? I'd love to have one of those, and I'd be throwing a Bigsby on that bad boy straight away! Thanks for pointing out what looks to be a great box...

I'd love to have one of those, and I'd be throwing a Bigsby on that bad boy straight away! Thanks for pointing out what looks to be a great box... Yes I did an exchange last summer... Sorry no pics but there is a great resume on this Gibson site I would describe the neck as 'fat'....certainly fatter than the ES330 My particular likes are the neck, the tasteful aged 'burst finish and the under-wound P90's which smooth out the P90 bark just nicely for jazz comping etc... All in all possibly my favourite guitar alongside the different but equally great ES330 V

All in all possibly my favourite guitar alongside the different but equally great ES330 V V, awesome! What do you feel are the major differences sonically or otherwise between the 225 and the 330? Obviously the single cutaway...but given that they probably share the same awesome underwound P90's, what do you feel are the differences? Thanks, J
Versatile Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 Hi J, thankyou for your interest... Personal opinions so far.... The ES225 was actually superseded by the ES330 in the model range of '58/'59.... The ES225 draws on the DNA of older pre H/B archtops like the ES175 and appears to be like a slimline ES175 The ES330 is ergonomically very similar to an ES335....with lighter weight String spacing at the nut is the same....the ES225 widens slightly more to the bridge, easing any finger-style techniques The ES225 combination bridge/tailpiece(a la early Les Paul) sits on the top surface The ES330 bridge is screwed securely into the top....which may influence vibrations and tone For vintage accuracy the ES225 has no neck strap button....

jmendoza Posted April 14, 2016 Posted April 14, 2016 You can hand me over the Lee any time now, besides, you can only play one at a time, so I'm waiting! Jay
