Vintage 1966 Gibson ES-330TDC Cherry Red

ES-330的歷史可以追朔到1936年，當時Gibson發表了他們第一款Spanish Electric Archtop Guitar ES-150西班牙拱形吉他，搭配了一組單線圈拾音器，而ES就是Spanish Electric的縮寫。時間到了1938年，價格更低廉的ES-100(ES-125)取代了ES-150，隨後更推出頂級的ES-250與ES-300。

Gibson因ES系列創下銷售佳績，電吉他也在這時開始成為主流的彈奏樂器。在二次大戰後Gibson開始對ES電吉他的設計做更改與加強，1948年除了原始就有的ES-125、ES-150、ES-300以外，Gibson首次增加了雙P90拾音器在ES系列上，這一做法使電吉他有了史無前例的創新，而Gibson當年的總裁Ted McCarty更將ES-175、Super 400、L-5等當年熱銷的空心電吉他也都增加了雙P-90拾音器。1952年，Gibson正式推出了第一款搭配雙P-90拾音器的Les Paul Goldtop實心電吉他，而在1954年，Gibson的電吉他銷量首次超過了空心吉他，隨後幾年再陸續推出Junior、Special與Custom系列的電吉他。



ES-335首次於1958年問世，而ES-330T則是於1959年發表，ES-330的琴身尺寸與ES-335相同，而琴身不同於ES-335的半空心，ES-330為全空心，而ES-330的琴頸是於第16格與琴身相接，相較於第19格相接的ES-335來說，ES-330琴頸較短。而ES-330T於1962年停產，隨後年末由雙P90拾音器的ES-330TD取代。

這是1965/66年製造的ES-330，經典且沒有任何褪色的Cherry Red，楓木琴身、桃花心木琴頸、巴西玫瑰木指板，全空心搭配P90拾音器的配置，前段音色溫暖且飽滿，而後段依然咆哮，非放置50年以上的老木頭很難達到這種老琴令人癡迷的音色。近六十年的老琴，整把琴保存狀況極佳，有著正常使用小傷痕與天然的Weather Checking，並沒有嚴重的大面積損傷或任何的琴頸維修紀錄。

整支琴除了因為音準而更換的Gibson Deluxe弦鈕(與原始規格相同，無額外孔洞)以外，琴身上的護板、Top-Hat Knobs、Trapeze Tailpiece等皆為100%原裝，甚至連Nut與Fret都沒有被更換過，Fret約六成新，依然可正常的彈奏。

目前1965/66年ES-330TD Cherry Red狀況良好且無改裝約落在台幣25至30萬左右。在這物價持續通膨的世代，收藏古董琴真的是最好的投資選擇，相對1950年代的老琴也更平易近人，老琴每年都在漲價，且能找到原汁原味、狀況又好並不容易，收藏價值與保值性極高，有興趣的收藏家們把握機會。

The history of the ES-330 can be traced back to 1936, when Gibson introduced its first Spanish Electric Archtop Guitar, the ES-150, equipped with a single-coil pickup. "ES" stands for Spanish electric guitar. By 1938, the more affordable ES-100 (later renamed the ES-125) replaced the ES-150, and Gibson soon launched the higher-end ES-250 and ES-300 models.

The success of the ES series drove Gibson’s sales, and during this time, the electric guitar started becoming a mainstream instrument. After WWII, Gibson began refining and enhancing the design of the ES series. In 1948, along with the existing ES-125, ES-150, and ES-300 models, Gibson added dual P-90 pickups to the ES series for the first time, bringing unprecedented innovation to the electric guitar market. That same year, Gibson President Ted McCarty incorporated dual P-90 pickups into popular hollow-body electric guitars like the ES-175, Super 400, and L-5. In 1952, Gibson officially released the first solid-body electric guitar with dual P-90 pickups: the Les Paul Goldtop. By 1954, sales of Gibson's electric guitars surpassed those of hollow-body guitars for the first time, and models like the Junior, Special, and Custom series followed in subsequent years.

The ES-335 debuted in 1958, and the ES-330T was introduced in 1959. The ES-330 shares the same body size as the ES-335, but its neck meets the body at the 16th fret, whereas the ES-335's neck joins at the 19th fret, giving the ES-330 a shorter neck. The ES-330T was discontinued in 1962 and replaced later that year by the dual P-90 equipped ES-330TD.

This is a 1965/66 ES-330, in a classic Cherry Red finish and no fading. It features a maple body, mahogany neck, Brazilian rosewood fretboard, and full-hollowbody construction with P-90 pickups. The neck pickup offers a warm and full-bodied tone, while the bridge pickup still growls. With nearly 60 years of history, this guitar is in excellent condition with minor signs of use and natural weather checking, but no major damage or neck repair history.

Aside from the Gibson Deluxe tuners, which were replaced for tuning stability (identical to the originals without additional drilling), all other components—including the pickguard, top-hat knobs, and trapeze tailpiece—are original, and even the nut and frets remain unchanged. The frets are approximately 60% intact and still playable.
