1962 Gibson ES-330 TDC with case

There is no model more classy than the Gibson ES-330 electric guitar. Debuting in 1959, it features the thinline archtop body with f style holes and no solid center block. The P-90 pickups pair nicely with the fully hollow body. Like most Gibson electric guitars, it was made with the wider 1 11/16" nut width until late 1965. The round style upper bout horns, often compared to Mickey Mouse ears, are a feature of thinline Gibson electrics until about 1963.

Notes: This early 1962 has survived in amazingly clean condition with its original case and hang tags. Its original pickup covers span the gap between the black plastic cover and the later nickel plated metal covers. The neck pickup cover is nickel but the bridge pickup is plastic with chrome finish. The Cherry stain is amazingly unfaded and looks divine. I'm confident you'll love this clean vintage 1962 Gibson ES-330TDC with case and tags!
