2013 Gibson Memphis ES-330 1959 Reissue
Fully-hollow double-cut maple laminate body with mahogany neck. Bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, round/deep C carve and 1-11/16” nut width. First fret neck depth is .875”, 12th fret depth is .977”. P-90 dog ear pickups with DC values of 7k, bevelled 5 ply black pickguard, aged speed knobs, vintage switch tip, and no-spring vintage-reissue Tune-O-Matic bridge. The Bigsby is likely non-original but has been beautifully installed as if it were factory original. The nut has been upgraded for bone and is nicely made. 6.3lbs.
Set-up here at Folkway, the guitar plays beautifully with frets that show almost no playtime. Condition is quite lovely as there is very little playwear anywhere on the guitar, but there is a small separation in the top ply of the body’s laminate on the treble horn of the top.
With original hardshell case and COA
