The Gibson Custom ES-330 VOS is the rebirth of a classic. Similar to an ES-335 in look and feel, the ES-330 is a genuine hollowbody, lacking the solid centerblock of its semi-hollow counterparts. The Custom ES-330 VOS is closely modeled on the original release of this classic guitar, and sports an unmistakable vintage vibe to complement its classic sound. With an extremely playable neck and dual P-90 pickups, the Gibson Custom ES-330 projects outstanding tone for any genre of music.

Classic Hollowbody Sound and Style

Unlike many other Gibson ES guitars, the ES-330 is a true hollowbody. The complete openness of the body creates an wider sound with bright ringing textures and vibrant overtones. The body is made from combination three-ply maple and poplar, while the mahogany neck includes a maple spline all connected with a sturdy mortise and tenon joint. The result is a rich resonance through the entire instrument. The pickups are slightly underwound P-90s well-known for their tonal versatility. From crisp rock to mellow jazz tones, the ES-330 is equipped to do it all. For added playing potential, the vintage cherry option includes a classic Bigsby tremolo tailpiece.

Aged to perfection, Gibson VOS (Vintage Original Specs) guitars undergo an "aging process" for an oxidized finish and all the dings and scratches you would expect from a well-worn guitar. VOS series guitars look and feel like a 50-year-old guitar should.

Features:

- Full hollowbody guitar with bright, open sound
- Dual P-90 pickups known for their versatility
- Maple/poplar body with mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard
- Vintage trapeze-style tailpiece (Bigsby tremolo tailpiece on vintage cherry finish)
- Included Gibson hardshell case

With Kluson white button tuners and its selection of vintage finishes, the Gibson Custom ES-330 VOS carries a great vintage swagger and style. With its genuine P-90 pickups and true hollowbody design, this ES-330 sings with a bright, rich tone worthy of the model's long legacy. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gibson products.

Product Description

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.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
