Gibson USA ES-330 in Tobacco Sunburst

The Gibson ES-330 has earned a reputation for its distinctive sound, comfortable playability, and classic aesthetics, making it a favorite among musicians seeking a versatile, vintage-inspired ES™-style electric guitar. A close relative of the Epiphone Casino™, the ES-330 features a fully hollow thinline body made of 3-ply maple/poplar/maple, resulting in a warm and resonant tone. Its hollow body, trapeze tailpiece, and deep-set neck optimize bridge placement for enhanced sound quality.

The mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded “C” profile and is paired with a rosewood fretboard, complete with acrylic small block inlays and medium jumbo frets. The ES-330 is equipped with a pair of Dogear P-90 pickups, hand-wired to 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors, delivering bright and clear clean tones, as well as wonderfully gritty sounds when overdriven.

Not only is the ES-330 a fantastic electric guitar for stage and studio use, but it also serves as an enjoyable songwriting tool. Many consider it the ideal “couch guitar,” as it can be played unplugged and still sound great acoustically. We’re proud to reintroduce the ES-330 to the Gibson catalog, allowing players to rediscover the magic of this distinctive, vintage-inspired classic.
