1964 Gibson ES-330 Left Handed
This super clean left handed 1964 Gibson ES-330 was sent to the closet after the original owner got married in 1964. It was then bought in the early 1980s at Third Eye Music from Tom Whitrock. This one is unique because of the diamond artwork on each horn. We suspect that Gibson sanded through the laminate and painted these diamonds on before they applied the finish. We think that the black diamonds are one of the coolest features we've ever seen on a Gibson guitar.
This one is sold but it's a great example of the guitars we look for. If you have one and are considering selling, you can contact us here: Sell a Gibson
