The ES-330 was introduced in 1959 and phased out by 1972. A fully hollow, double-cutaway guitar sporting either one or two single-coil P-90 pickups, it has always been less popular than its semihollow, humbucker-equipped counterpart- the ES-335. This is perhaps because the ES-330 is a trickier instrument to master- it's full hollow construction makes it more 'lively' than the 335 which less experienced players can find more of a challenge! But the ES-330, with its beautiful woody and bell-like timbre, has had some impressive devotees, including jazz players like Grant Green, rockers like Keith Richards and bluesmen such as B.B. King. This fantastic reissue takes it up a notch with beautifully figured laminate maple.
