One example is the Gibson ES-330™, which was introduced in 1959. While the model shares many similarities with its close cousin, the Epiphone Casino™, the ES-330 actually predates it; the Casino wasn’t introduced until 1961. Now, after an eight-year hiatus, Gibson Custom is proud to bring the 1959 ES-330 Reissue back to the core lineup of Gibson Custom Historic Reissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1959 ES-330 Reissue features a fully hollow thinline body crafted from three-ply maple\/poplar\/maple. Unlike the similar-looking ES-335, the ES-330 lacks a maple centerblock, giving it a livelier, more resonant response and much greater acoustic volume when played unplugged, making it one of the greatest “couch guitars” of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1959 ES-330 Reissue features a one-piece mahogany neck with an Authentic 1959 profile, which is C-shaped and substantial in the hand without being overly large or cumbersome. The one-piece, bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 22 authentic medium jumbo frets and adorned with simple cellulose dot inlays. The neck joins the body at the 16th fret, just as with the originals from 1959, resulting in an optimized bridge placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of P-90 pickups with black Dogear covers powers the 1959 ES-330 Reissue, with the bridge pickup having standard windings and an Alnico 3 magnet, while the neck pickup is underwound and is equipped with an Alnico 5 magnet, resulting in a perfectly balanced set. Each pickup is hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls using CTS® potentiometers and paper-in-oil tone capacitors. A Switchcraft® three-way pickup selector toggle switch and 1\/4” output jack complete the electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeedback? Sure. Any fully hollow guitar is more prone to feedback than a solidbody or semi-hollowbody, and isn’t an ideal choice for ultra-high gain or situations that require extreme volume levels. However, the ES-330 is still easy to control when you add some gain and overdrive, and with careful palm and fretting hand muting, it sustains and sings in a very unique and musical way that most other guitars simply can’t match. The ES-330 excels at Americana, blues, 60s pop, country, jazz, rock, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther vintage-correct features include the nickel hardware, including a Historic no-wire ABR-1 bridge and trapeze tailpiece, a nylon nut, Kluson® Deluxe tuning machines, an ES-330 multi-ply pickguard, and True Historic gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers. The VOS finish on the hardware and gloss nitrocellulose lacquer gives the 1959 ES-330 Reissue the mellowed aesthetic of an unused vintage guitar that time forgot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are excited to bring the 1959 ES-330 Reissue back to the Gibson Custom Historic lineup and can’t wait to hear what a new generation of musicians creates with this exceptional guitar.
