Rare Dot Neck ES Gibson

Rare 1961 Gibson ES-330 TDC in a vibrant Cherry Red finish. The ES-330 is a fully hollow electric guitar known for its bright, resonant tone, often favoured by blues and jazz musicians. This particular model boasts a set of 1972 Gibson Humbucker pickups, which provide a richer, fuller sound with more output than the original P-90s.

The guitar features a classic combination of tonewoods, with a one-piece mahogany neck and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard.

This pairing is renowned for its warm, balanced tone and smooth playability. The dot inlays on the fretboard contribute to the guitar's vintage aesthetic. The nut width of 1 11/16" is a comfortable size for most players, offering ample space for fingering chords and lead lines. This ES-330 is equipped with a trapeze tailpiece.

Overall, the condition of the guitar appears to be excellent for its age, with the Cherry Red finish showing a beautiful patina.
