OrdinaryNimda Posted Friday at 07:04 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:04 PM I wanted to read more about this guitar being re-introduced by Gibson, but there was nothing in the Lounge section. So here is a new ES-330 thread: Quote I already have a 335 at home, and this 330 is somewhat different, which makes it VERY appealing even for non-pros. It's a full-hollowbody with a trapeze tailpiece, so no center block, making it even lighter. There are other differences that I noticed, one is p90 pickups and the other is a brown case. OK, the fretmarkers are "small rectangles", but this should not be a deal-breaker versus normal dots. (Especially because there is no marker on the first fret and there really shouldn't be one.) And they have it in-stock even in Europe (Thomann, MusicStore...), which makes it pretty accessible.😎 Gibson web: https://www.gibson.com/en-US/p/Electric-Guitar/ES-330/Antique-Natural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil OKeefe Posted Friday at 07:33 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:33 PM I already have a really nice Cherry Casino, so I'm all set, but a friend of mine really wants one of these in Ebony. IMO, they're really cool guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted yesterday at 04:51 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:51 AM Why no Nickel Dogear Covers? The recent USA Casino’s don’t have them either? I have a Epi Ltd Edition 1961 50th Anniv. Casino with Tremotone that has Black Dogear Covers. They look cool on that Guitar. The ES-330 used to have Nickel Covers & they really set the Guitar off with Class. If I recall a few years ago you had the option on ES-330’s. Glad I got my USA Casino a few years ago when they did have Nickel Dogear Covers. In any case regardless of the Pickup Covers the ES-330 & the USA Epi Casino’s are amazing good Guitars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted yesterday at 02:20 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:20 PM I've got a 1970 with the long neck (higher fret access). I bought the Casio because the 330 was getting beat up doing one-nighters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
