This clean vintage 1965 Gibson ES-330 TDC guitar in Cherry red finish with Gibson Deluxe Vibrola (Lyre) tailpiece came through the shop last year. It was a fine playing electric guitar and an excellent example of the ES-330 model. I'm always a buyer for vintage Gibson guitars but I especially love the ES-330 model. Please contact me here to sell a vintage Gibson ES-330 guitar.
