Gibson / ES-330 TD / 1960 / Sunburst / Guitar
|
Here’s a Gibson guitar that’s becoming the most popular vintage model to collect today! It’s an all-original 1960 ES-330TD in exceptional condition, and sounding exceptionally warm.
The P90's are absolute bliss, with their classic warm tone that will delight jazzmen, bluesmen and rockers alike. Awesome for clean tones and absolutely monstrous for overdriven leads. The guitar has no center block and is completely hollow, so it is a true featherweight.
The guitar is in mint condition, only showing very minor dings here and there and beautiful checking all over the body. Checking is more intense in the back of the neck, but very beautiful. Has a ’60 V1 profile (the fattest of the ’60 neck). Frets are original but still in decent shape.
We have blacklit the guitar and can confirm that all the finish is 100% original and there are NO oversprays or touchups of ANY kind.
The guitar has a correct 1960 FON in the interior (starts with R) and a correct model designation stamp ("ES330TD").
Check out the pictures and see for yourself: you will be hard-pressed to find another 60 ES-330 TD that looks as good as this. The guitar not only looks incredibly good, but plays and sounds equally well too!
The guitar includes a high-quality Made-in-Canada black case which is definitely vintage, but from a later period.
ES-330's prices have been going up non-stop in the last years, and will continue to do so. '59s and ‘60s with 59 appointmentsare the most sought-after, especially if they're in this condition, so now is the chance to get your hands on a true collector's item and killer tone machine. It will be a while before we see another such fine example as this.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
