First\nlaunched in 1959, the model underwent several updates by the time 1962 arrived. Although it shares clear DNA\nwith its close relative, the Epiphone Casino™, the ES-330 actually came first, with the Casino debuting in 1961.\nAfter an eight-year pause, Gibson Custom is pleased to reintroduce the 1962 ES-330 Reissue as a core offering\nwithin the Gibson Custom Historic Reissue Collection.\n\nThis new 1962 ES-330 Reissue features a fully hollow, thinline body constructed from three-ply\nmaple\/poplar\/maple. Unlike the visually similar ES-335, the ES-330 does not incorporate a maple centerblock,\nwhich gives it a more open, resonant character, as well as impressive acoustic presence when played unplugged.\nIt remains one of the most enjoyable and inspiring electric guitars to pick up casually and play acoustically at\nhome.\n\nIts one-piece mahogany neck is shaped to a SlimTaper™ 60s C profile, a sleeker and less rounded feel compared\nto the 1959 ES-330 examples. A bound, one-piece rosewood fretboard carries 22 period-correct medium jumbo\nfrets and features cellulose small-block inlays in place of the simpler dot markers found on earlier variants. True to\n1962 specifications, the neck meets the body at the 16th fret, a detail that ensures ideal bridge placement.\nA set of P-90 pickups with black Dogear covers drives the 1962 ES-330 Reissue. The bridge unit uses standard\nwindings paired with an Alnico 3 magnet, while the neck pickup is underwound and fitted with an Alnico 5 magnet,\nproducing a complementary and well-balanced tonal partnership. Each pickup is wired by hand to its own volume\nand tone controls, using CTS® potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors. A Switchcraft® three-way selector and\n1\/4” output jack round out the electronics.\n\nAs with any fully hollow instrument, increased gain or extreme stage volume can induce feedback more readily\nthan on solidbody or semi-hollow guitars. Still, the ES-330 remains surprisingly manageable with moderate\noverdrive, and its responsiveness under careful right and left-hand muting creates a singing, expressive voice that\nsets it apart. Its strengths span Americana, blues, 60s pop, country, jazz, rock, and more.\nAdditional historically accurate elements include nickel hardware, a Historic no-wire ABR-1 bridge, a trapeze\ntailpiece, a nylon nut, Kluson® Deluxe tuners, an ES-330 multi-ply pickguard, and black Top Hat knobs with silver\ninserts and dial pointers. The VOS finish on the hardware and gloss nitrocellulose lacquer imparts the softly aged\ncharacter of a pristine vintage instrument preserved through the decades.\n\nGibson is excited to welcome the 1962 ES-330 Reissue back into the Gibson Custom Historic lineup and look forward\nto the music today’s players will create with it. A Lifton™ hardshell case is included for secure storage and travel.\n\nSPECIFICATIONS\n\nBody\n\n• Body Shape: ES-335\n\n• Body Style: Hollow Body\n\n• Body Material: Maple\/Poplar\/Maple\n\n• Body Finish: VOS Nitrocellulose Lacquer\n\n• Binding: Single-Ply Top and Back\n\nNeck\n\n• Neck Profile: SlimTaper™ 60s C\n\n• Frets: Reissue Medium Jumbo\n\n• Neck Joint: Long Neck Tenon\n\n• Fingerboard Material: Rosewood\n\n• Nut Material: Nylon\n\n• Inlays: Small-Block\n\n• Fingerboard Radius: 12 in.
