2019 Gibson Memphis 1961 ES-330 Vintage Burst VOS NEW
When the ES-330 first emerged from the Gibson tone factory, it stood apart from it brethren because of its fully-hollow construction and single-coil P-90 pickups. These factors gave it a woodier, more midrange-forward voice that inspired jazz greats like Grant Green to adopt it as their instrument of choice. Later, alt-rockers like William Reid of The Jesus and Mary Chain discovered that the ES-330's clarity and midrange punch made it a brilliant building block for their brand of sonic mayhem, and many others in that scene followed. Nowadays, you can find people playing everything from jangly indie rock to gutbucket blues to grungy fuzz-laden riffs to crunchy classic rock on the ES-330, and it excels in all of these applications and more (oh, and it's still a great jazz guitar, too!). The 1961 iteration featured a host of updates, including a thinner rounded neck profile, the classic "mouse ear" body shape, a bound fretboard, and Kluson tuners with white oval buttons. Gibson Mempphis have been kind enough to include all of these delightful appointments in this reissue! We are happy to report that the neck profile has the same fast feel and addictive playability that captured guitarists' hearts in 1961, and that the styling is just as drool-worthy.
