2011 Gibson ES-330L

Serial # CS 154387. A creation of Gibson's Custom Shop, the ES-330L blends the best of the 50's and 60's vintage ES-330's and throws in some modern touches for good measure. The instrument is positively gorgeous, and plays like dream.

From the 1950's ES-330s, the guitar features a steeper 17 degree headstock pitch for better sustain and feel, black P-90 pickups, a long-tenon neck joint, and tobacco sunburst finish; and the 19th fret neck joint borrowed from the 1960's guitars gives players easier access to the upper frets. The neck shape is a blend of both decades, with a full round profile and 1-11/16" nut but still not as chunky as a late 1950's carve.

Full hollow thin-body maple laminate double-cut body, mahogany neck with bound rosewood fingerboard, Nitrocellulose lacquer finish, vintage style tuners and ABR-1 bridge, trapeze tailpiece, standard wiring with Memphis tone circuit for better volume roll-off.

The guitar is pretty much as new as a used guitar can get, set-up beautifully, and accompanied by its original Custom Shop certificate of authenticity.
