1964 Gibson ES-330 TDC Thinline Hollowbody Cherry Red with Gibson Vibrato which is very rare.
Completely original with no repairs or issues except one key is loose but stays in tune and never bothered to fix it as had many dudes wanting to replace all keys etc.. lucky I knew enough even 30 years ago not to let those repair dudes fuck it up.

I am the second owner and have had this since the 70s. very little play on this one and it has spent most of its life in the not original case but alast 20 years in a gibson case that is also included as I never took it on the road.

The chrome P-90s and the Gibson Vibrato on this Thinline Hollowbody set it apart from ES-335s. Those are great guitars for sustain but lack the open voice of the ES-330. The P-90s, Vibrato and your playing style make for an awesome tone, beautiful mellow tones for blues and jazz to rockin
treable bite and inbetween.

Nothing has been replaced: it is all original! The case has a few latches that are broken but still in good shape and protects the guitar.
There’s the usual weather crazing that is common on 45 year old lacquer finishes and only a bit of ware on the neck but nothing compared to many guitars this old. There is no ‘buckle’ rash at all.

The hardware is bright and shiny and everything; pots, pickups, switch and jack, work as they should. Solid investment and a great instrument from an era of fine workmanship from Gibson.
