Gibson Custom Shop ES330 VOS Hollowbody Electric Guitar with Case

The Gibson Custom ES330 VOS Hollowbody Electric Guitar is reminiscent of the classic Gibson, late '50s feel, including the comfortable neck shape blending into the soft curves of the rounded fingerboard binding. The ES330 from Gibson Custom is a lightweight, full hollowbody guitar with a lively sound whether played acoustically or plugged in. With the 16th fret neck joint and just the right neck angle, the ES330 has a great feel that makes you want to play all night.

The combination of exacting '50s body and neck specifications and slightly underwound P-90 pickups on aged nickel-plated bases tied together with an original spec wiring harness will bring you back to the tones of Grant Green in a laid-back New York jazz club. Run the Gibson Custom ES330 guitar through an old tube amp and you won't be able to keep from playing one British Invasion song after another.

The weight, the feel and the tone of this ES330 VOS guitar are magical. Offered in old-school colors and all finished in Gibson Custom's warm Vintage Original Spec process, the ES330 is a guitar that just makes sense from beginning to end.
