The ES-330 looks like an ES-335 but is fully hollow, with no centre block, and its neck is deep-set into the body. Gibson credits the hollow body, the trapeze tailpiece and that neck joint for its warm, resonant sound, and it is lighter than a 335. It is a close cousin of the Epiphone Casino.
Two dogear P-90s, two volumes and two tones hand-wired with 500K pots and Orange Drop capacitors, an ABR-1 bridge and a trapeze tailpiece. Rounded C mahogany neck on a rosewood board with small block inlays. Antique Natural, Sixties Cherry and Tobacco Sunburst.
