Product Description

Vintage Vibe, Hollowbody Bloom

Meet the Gibson ES-330 in a gorgeous Tobacco Sunburst finish—a stone-cold classic for players who crave authentic vintage tone and feel. Unlike its semi-hollow cousins, the ES-330 is fully hollow, giving it an acoustic-like resonance and airy bloom that’s pure magic. It’s lightweight, incredibly responsive, and sings with a voice that’s been cherished by players for decades. From the moment you pick it up, this guitar feels like an old friend.

Raw P-90 Power

Plug it in, and the dual Dogear P-90 pickups deliver the goods. These single-coils are the real deal, offering a gritty, articulate bite that sits perfectly between the chime of a Fender and the heft of a humbucker. The bridge pickup has a snarling midrange cut that’s born for blues and rock, while the neck pickup is warm, woody, and glassy, and perfect for jazz voicings and soulful leads. The hand-wired controls, complete with Orange Drop capacitors, give you a massive tonal palette to explore, from clean and jangly to beautifully overdriven.

Classic Feel, Modern Playability

The Rounded “C” mahogany neck feels instantly comfortable and familiar, filling the hand without being cumbersome. Paired with a smooth Indian Rosewood fingerboard and a 12″ radius, it’s built for both chord work and fluid soloing. The classic Trapeze tailpiece and ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge don’t just look the part—they add to the guitar’s open, chimey character and ensure solid tuning stability.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The biggest difference is the construction. The ES-330 is fully hollow, which gives it an airy, acoustic-like resonance. The ES-335 has a solid center block, which reduces feedback and adds sustain. Tonally, the 330 uses P-90 pickups for a brighter, grittier sound, while the 335 typically has humbuckers for a thicker, warmer tone.
Think of them as the perfect middle ground. They have more bite and clarity than a humbucker, but more warmth and midrange punch than a traditional single-coil. They’re raw, expressive, and incredibly versatile for everything from clean jazz to overdriven rock.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
