Bern Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hello, I am repairing/restoring an original1959/60 Gibson ES-330, what is type of bridge it would of came with? After some research, some pictures show a wired ABR-1 and some show non-wire ABR-1. Also would it have had nylon saddles? The volume knobs are currently black ones this is also up for debate as I have seen both gold and black? Thank you for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hello I can't help much except to say I think it's very unlikely to have had nylon saddles originally. Here is a very nice one with a non-wire bridge and gold knobs - https://www.atbguitars.com/store/product/1959-gibson-es-330-tdc-cherry-red-custom-ordered-ohsc-1959es330cherry345/ And another (same shop) with again non-wire bridge and gold knobs - https://www.atbguitars.com/store/product/1959-gibson-es-330-td-1959es330/ Go for gold, I say - best wishes!
