For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this 1960 Gibson ES-330TD.

The ES-330TD represents Gibson’s fully hollow thinline electric at the dawn of the 1960s, offering a uniquely open and airy voice that has made it a longtime favorite among blues, jazz, and early rock players. Sharing its overall silhouette with the ES-335, the 330 differs in its fully hollow construction, P-90s, and trapeze tailpiece design, delivering a more acoustic-like response with exceptional resonance and sensitivity.

This 1960 example is 100% original and in excellent condition, showing only modest play-wear consistent with its 66 years of age. The sunburst finish remains vibrant and well-preserved, with only honest surface wear that speaks to careful long-term ownership. Structurally and cosmetically, the guitar presents beautifully and remains an outstanding example of an early production ES-330TD.

Featuring fully hollow maple construction with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, this guitar delivers the unmistakable warmth and bloom associated with Gibson’s non-center-block thinline electrics. The P-90 pickups provide rich, dynamic output with excellent clarity and bite, offering everything from smooth, rounded jazz tones to raw, articulate overdriven textures when pushed. The instrument responds immediately to touch and pick dynamics, with a lively acoustic resonance that sets it apart from semi-hollow counterparts.

This 1960 Gibson ES-330TD includes its original brown Lifton hardshell case.
