Looking for a modern or vintage Gibson ES-330 or Epiphone Casino (USA) in good condition.  I do like the look of the Gibson CS '61 ES-330 TDN Figured Dark Vintage Natural with Bigsby, but I'm open to ideas!  Cherry one is nice too.... anyone?

Just bought this 1968 Gibson ES330 Long neck....  




WooHoo!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for their help!

    I've seen that one, but it does look like there's a couple of marks on the front... and I do find the Sunset burst a bit orangey?  Or is that just me being picky?  I'd rather wait for one with the Wow factor ;)

    I’d agree on the colour - keep a look out for one in Beale Street Blue ... they look amazing

    Very Gary Clark Jnr., but the blue is not one I'd go for... funny innit!  There's one on evilBay at the moment.

    Beale St Blue is the 330L model I think. Not quite the same.

    Its a Custom Shop model with the long neck joint at 19th fret, for me the 330/Casino has to have the short neck joint at the 17th fret........

    Have you checked the new Eastman T64? I know it’s not Gibson/Epiphone but still seriously cool!

    Drifted past No Tom today and saw a mad clean '67 sunburst 330 for I think £2750... not the long-neck '67 on the website, this one is a short neck. Obvs a narrow nut but seemed like a surprisingly tempting price.

    I do like the look of the Eastman but I already have a cheaper version of the real thing as I recently bought a used, but totally mint, Epiphone 1961 50th anniversary Casino with tremotone... and I'm completely blown away with it!  It's identical to this:

    Lovely guitar, I don't like the feel of the long neck - but that is stunning

    Really? That seems very cheap - and therefore unlike them ;)

    Nice looking guitar, shame about the Bigsby

    I know that a lot of people like the look of a Bigsby, but I'm with you, they spoil the look of the guitar in my opinion.

    But that is a cracking guitar. Well done.
