The Gibson ES-330 has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: by sounding brilliant. A close cousin to the Epiphone Casino, this fully hollow thinline electric is lightweight and resonant, with a supremely warm tone from its 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body.
The mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded "C" profile, while the Indian rosewood fretboard and 22 medium jumbo frets offer smooth playability. At its heart, a pair of hand-wired Dogear P-90 pickups deliver everything from bright, clear cleans to wonderfully snarling overdrive. It's a versatile guitar that thrives across blues, jazz, rock, and beyond, handling each genre with equal parts grace and grit.
A Neck Built for the Long Haul
Comfort matters when you're deep into a three-hour rehearsal or tracking takes in the studio. The ES-330's mahogany neck features a Rounded "C" profile that strikes the perfect balance — substantial enough to feel solid, yet slim enough to keep your fretting hand relaxed through extended sessions. The 24.75-inch scale length and 12-inch fretboard radius work together to make both cowboy chords at the first fret and screaming bends up high feel equally natural.
Rosewood Fretboard with Small Block Inlays: The Indian rosewood provides a smooth, fast playing surface, while the acrylic small block inlays add vintage visual flair without getting in the way of your fingers.
22 Medium Jumbo Frets: Sized just right for precise intonation and comfortable bends, these frets give you plenty of real estate for expressive playing without feeling oversized.
Graph Tech Nut and Vintage Deluxe Tuners: Stable tuning is non-negotiable, and the Graph Tech nut paired with Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons keeps this hollowbody locked in, even when you're digging into aggressive rhythm parts.
Dogear P-90s That Bark and Bite
The ES-330's unique tone comes from its hand-wired Dogear P-90 pickups. These aren’t ordinary pickups — they’re paired with 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors for exceptional clarity and tonal versatility. When clean, they deliver a crisp, bell-like chime that fits perfectly in any mix. Add gain, and they turn into sharp, powerful tones that cut through even the densest arrangements.
Hand-Wired to 500k Pots and Orange Drop Capacitors: This premium wiring scheme preserves high-end shimmer while maintaining warmth, giving you tones that are bright without being brittle and thick without being muddy.
Controllable Feedback: Yes, any fully hollow guitar can feedback at high volumes — but the ES-330 surprises with how manageable it remains with some judicious palm muting and gain control, allowing you to coax sustain and harmonic richness without losing control.
Three-Way Toggle Switching: Flip between neck, bridge, or both pickups to cover sonic territory from warm jazz chords to cutting lead lines, all with a simple flick of the switch.
Thinline Hollowbody Elegance
Beyond the sound, the ES-330 simply looks and feels like a classic. The fully hollow, 3-ply maple/poplar/maple construction keeps the weight down while maximizing resonance, making this guitar as enjoyable to hold as it is to play. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish ages gracefully, developing character over time, while the single-ply cream binding on the top, back, and fretboard adds tasteful vintage detail.
Fully Adjustable ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic Bridge: Dial in your intonation with precision thanks to this legendary bridge design, ensuring every note rings true across the fretboard.
Trapeze Tailpiece: More than just eye candy, the trapeze tailpiece contributes to the ES-330's acoustic-like resonance and adds to the guitar's vintage visual appeal.
Hardshell Case Included: Your investment is protected right out of the box with a rugged hardshell case that keeps your ES-330 safe whether you're heading to a gig or storing it at home.
A Guitar for All Seasons
The ES-330 isn’t just a great electric guitar for the stage and studio — it’s also perfect for songwriting. Its hollow body construction provides a rich, full sound even when unplugged, making it an excellent "couch guitar" for practicing or sketching ideas quietly. Whether plugged into a cranked tube amp or played acoustically at home, the ES-330 delivers vintage-inspired tones that have stood the test of time.
