Its mahogany neck, with a rounded "C" profile, provides a comfortable grip, while the rosewood fretboard—adorned with acrylic small block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets—offers a smooth playing surface. The 12” fretboard radius makes it versatile for everything from jangly chords to expressive lead lines, making it a joy to play.
Equipped with Dogear P-90 pickups, the ES-330 delivers bright, clear tones and a raw, snarling sound when pushed. The hand-wiring with 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors further enhances its tonal richness. While feedback can be an issue with fully hollow guitars, the ES-330 is surprisingly manageable when using gain, allowing it to sing with unique sustain through careful muting techniques.
Whether you're into blues, Americana, '60s pop, country, jazz, or rock, this guitar is a fantastic choice. Beyond live performances and studio work, it shines as a songwriting companion, making it the ideal "couch guitar" for unplugged play.
