Gibson ES-330 Hollowbody Guitar - Sixties Cherry

At Interstellar Guitars, we believe some instruments don’t just make music—they bend time and space. The Gibson USA ES-330 in Sixties Cherry is one of those rare vessels built to drift between vintage soul and cosmic resonance.

Crafted with a fully hollow 3-ply maple/poplar/maple thinline body, the ES-330 is featherweight at just 6 lbs 6 oz, yet sonically massive. Its airy construction, spruce bracing, trapeze tailpiece, and deep-set long tenon neck create a naturally resonant platform that feels alive in your hands. Unplugged, it hums with warm, woody overtones—making it the ultimate couch companion and songwriting satellite.

Finished in glowing Sixties Cherry nitrocellulose, with cream binding and a black 5-ply pickguard, it radiates pure vintage orbit energy.

The mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded “C” profile that fits like it’s already logged a thousand gigs. A rosewood fretboard with acrylic small block inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a 12” radius delivers effortless playability—whether you’re strumming jangly first-position chords or bending notes into the stratosphere up high.

Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons, a Graph Tech® nut (1.7”), and an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge keep your tuning locked in and your intonation precise across its 24.75” scale.

At the heart of this spacecraft: a pair of hand-wired Dogear P-90 pickups. Wired to 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. Known for their glassy shimmering detail with warm, snarling harmonic rich textures. 

Yes—it’s fully hollow, so at high gain it will talk back. But with a little finesse and controlled muting, it sustains and blooms in a way solidbodies simply can’t replicate. The feedback becomes part of the music—organic, expressive, alive.

From blues and Americana to 60s pop, country, jazz, and rock, the ES-330 moves effortlessly across genres. A close cousin to the legendary Epiphone Casino, it carries that same lightweight thinline DNA—but with unmistakable Gibson USA craftsmanship and character.

The ES-330 isn’t just a guitar—it’s a frequency portal back to the golden age of tone, reborn for modern explorers.

Plug in. Drift outward. Let it sing.
