Here’s something rare and special – a 1959 Gibson ES-330 TC Thinline Archtop Electric.
The ES-330 was introduced in 1959 and discontinued in 1972. Along the way, in 1968,an optional ‘longer’ neck – one that joins the body at the 19th fret but has the same scale length – became available and many of the later versions have this option.
Oddly, the 330’s biggest claim to fame isn’t as itself. Gibson sent a version to Epiphone to take advantage of that dealer base, where it became the Casino. It turned out to be a favourite guitar with one of those British bands that sold a few records in the mid 1960’s.
