1964 Gibson ES-330 - All original with the exception of the tuners, which are period correct double-ring Kluson Deluxe, and nut.

Plays great all over the neck, original frets are relatively low but perfectly playable, currently set up with 10s. Wonderful sounding P90s, and light as a feather. Nickel hardware, wide-nut, and comes with original purple-lined case.

What makes this one unique? You’ll see it has Casino-style parallelogram inlays. This isn’t the only example of this I’ve seen, there’s a 330-owners Facebook group that has referenced a handful of them. Without access to the Gibson ledger it’s impossible to know if this was a custom order or a Friday-afternoon mistake(!), but either way it’s a rare example.

Looking for £5750 - now sold

    Oof, that's quite special. My guess on the inlays is they probably ran out of small block fretboards so did a few borrowing Casino ones rather than pause production. Either way it's a very cool thing and no doubt a fantastic instrument
