This guitar has typical period features including a medium dark brown-yellow sunburst top, bound rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlay, and nickel-plated hardware including the tune-o-matic bridge and trapeze tailpiece. The single bound body is fully hollow, unlike the semi-hollow 335-355 series and the neck joins at the 16th fret. The tuners are single enclosed Kluson deluxe with plastic buttons. Two P-90 pickups are mated to the standard Gibson wiring rig, with the gold 60's style \"capped\" plastic tone and volume knobs and white switch tip. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ES-330 is a great sounding very versatile guitar at home in many musical situations. Despite being intended by Gibson as an \"amateur\" instrument (the least expensive of the double-cutaway thinlines) the 330 has been heard on countless classic records in many styles of music since its introduction in 1959. Jazz great Grant Green used this model extensively on his most well-regarded early-1960's recordings. A number of period bluesmen have been spotted with one as well, including B.B. King, Chuck Berry and most notably Slim Harpo, who is nearly always pictured with one. The 330 and its nearly identical sister guitar the Epiphone Casino were featured in countless '60's British invasion bands, including the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Manfred Mann, the Merseybeats and many more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 40 1\/2 in. (102.9 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 3\/4 in. (4.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/8 in. (41 mm.). Very clean overall, only super light wear overall and light checking to the finish. This ES-330 is beautiful and remains all original except for a recent professional refret with slightly taller wire than original. An excellent playing and sounding guitar, complete with the original chip case.
