In unplayed condition. I brought this for my wife to learn on, but she found it too big so she uses my es339. Ive just brought an es390 for her, which fits her better, so this is up for sale.

I know people slag off Gibson quality, but I’ve never found anything other than impeccable from Memphis and this fits the bill. Great sounding p90s than can jazz or scream if you want them to.

Nicked from the Peach website:

The Gibson ES-330 is one of the most sought after thinline, hollowbody guitars of the last 50 years, and as per usual Gibson Memphis have pulled out all the stops to bring us the 2018 ES-330. This limited edition model features the special run Dark Cherry finish.

With an absolutely stunning 3 ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body, the Gibson ES-330 is super resonant and tonally rich and vibrant. The quarter-sawn Mahogany neck features a Rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius and classic vintage Gibson pearloid block inlays.

Loaded with '50s style MHS P-90s, these Memphis Historic Spec pups deliver the vintage style sound everybody craves. An ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles and the super slick thinline trapeze tailpiece offer great stunning stability and a real vintage vibe.

It's a great example of the quality craftsmanship coming out of Gibson Memphis these days.

Im located in Chatham, Kent and really don’t want to deliver if possible, but I'm happy to drive and meet a reasonable distance. 

I can’t think of anything I’d want on trades so cash is king please. Im
open to reasonable offers

I have one of these and can only add that they are bloody brilliant guitars. I never had more compliments from punters than when I briefly gigged with mine.

This has got to be No.1 on my 'want' list, - just turned 70    - so need to get there!! ...Tell me, the neck - is it 60s slim type?

@erky32 here’s the description

The neck has a familiar rounded “C” neck profile, feeling substantial in the hands without being too chunky or cumbersome. Rolled binding also offers a smoother feel and a sleek transition between the side of the neck and the fretboard, a great feature that you will find only on high-quality instruments like this.The quarter-sawn mahogany neck is adorned with a rosewood fingerboard, giving you a silky smooth feel around the neck. This renowned combination of woods brings out the warmth of this guitar, merging well with the bright body woods. This means that this guitar sounds incredibly full-bodied, great for both live use and studio sessions.
I’d say somewhere between slim 60s and a 59, so thinner than a 59, fatter than a slim 60s

It's a really nice middling profile on these. The closest I have to anything else is my pre-2008 SG Standard. A shade thinner than a full 50's neck, but really nice and rounded without feeling "thin". Mine is probably the most comfortable profile of all my guitars.

Thanks both for reply. It's always difficult to express a feel, almost as difficult as a sound. The YouTubes I've seen on a ES330 VOS 2018 suggest the characteristic zing of a 330, so hopefully the sound is there. The videos offer no mention of the neck. I used to own a 1997 "LP Classic 1960" which had the "slim taper 60s" neck. That was perfect, C-shape with soft shoulders. Then I had a 335 with same neck - and that was downright skinny!! Presently I have an Epi ES LesPaul semi, that is slightly chunkier, but very managable. In acoustics I like the Taylor *14 necks - if all that gives any indication of what I'm looking for , probably the less chunky style, - I'm interested.

If it works for you, you're welcome to come over and have a try. I'm always happy to talk shit to anyone about guitars

Thanks for the invitation. Sadly, July/Aug flight prices are a tad steep for a viewing. If you're still selling after the summer I might take you up on that.

Hadn’t realised you were over the channel! No worries
