Vintage 1964 Gibson ES-330 *Blues*

Check out my recordings at: www.philippeters.blogspot.com

Same body as the ES-345 or 355 but completely hollow. The neck is set closer into the body as well and the pickups are P-90s.

@MrFenderbender97 It completely hollow. No wood thew the middle like the 345 or 355.

NIce guitar and playing. I have been thinking of picking up a 330 and was checking out videos. Are you playing through the little Marshall? Or the giant lunch box amp? I have one of the lunch box amps, it has an RCA handle, I think someone rebuilt the inside or built an amp into a speaker box. Just curious as to what yours was, since I have no idea what they are, nor have I seen another one.

@porkchopedit Hey thanks for the comment! I'm using the little Marshall to power the RCA speaker. My RCA doesn't have an amp in it , just a Jenson Speaker. Cool that you have one also, I'v never seen another. Any pix?

actually the body is slightly different, you will notice that the cutaways are deeper on 345 and 335 bodies.

I wish gibson custom would come out with a guitar that has a deep cutaway like 335, p90s like the 330, center block like the 335, inlay like the 330.....=win

I've got a '64 with the same finish. Love this guitar.

Nice to find a clip of a vintage guitar being played by someone other than Gregor Hilden (Greg's Guitars) or Phil X (Fretted Americana).......I'm sick of them, both.

ES-330s are such sweet guitars. Very nice!

What I hear from that tone (which I'm no expert on tone) is that the epiphone casinos have simulated that sound very well, but I do think the gibson es-330 does sound more balanced overall than the casino.

I enjoyed your clip the 330 is my favorite guitar.
