The single-pickup ES-330T was offered between 1959 and 1963 and among the rarer models produced during that Golden Era of Gibson electric production. The double-pickup ES-330TD was built in far greater numbers during those same years and remained in the catalog into the mid 1970s.

An all original and incredibly clean guitar, this 1960 Gibson ES-330T is an exceptional example of the model. The 65-year-old guitar is in far above average condition. The original Sunburst finish presents beautifully, with finish crazing and minor chips and scratches being the only signs of the instrument's age. The nickel plating on the hardware shows mild tarnishing but is overall in excellent condition. There is minor fret wear to the first seven frets that does not have a noticeable effect on playability. 

The single "dog-ear" P-90 positioned in the middle of the guitar offers a rich and dynamic voice with excellent note separation and clarity. With plenty of power in the tank, this guitar can push the front end of an amp beautifully if desired. It's a surprisingly versatile instrument, given its one-pickup setup, and is among the finest electric rhythm guitars that Gibson ever produced.

Scale length of 24-3/4", 1st fret depth of 0.795", 12th fret depth of 0.888". Pickup DC value of 8.3 kOhms. Weight of 5lbs 6oz. Fully hollow-body construction with laminated maple top, back and sides; mahogany neck; and rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
