MGR/grant... « Gibson ES-330 »
Published on 12/17/02 at 15:00i paid about $350 for it about 25 years ago.
at first i really like the classic Gibson lines, but when i played it, it had the best action i ever played. since my dad was a Gibson blues/folk player, i had played a lot of his vintage Gibsons, but this was the best. i had been looking for a new guitar for about 2 months before i selected this one.
over the years i replaced the bone nut with a brass one, and replaced the bridge pickup with an old DiMarzio. since i play out of an old AC-30, i wanted a little more meat to feed the old Vox.
this guitar looks and plays better than the day i brought it home. the tone has mellowed, and the paint has settled into a smooth sheen from years of waxing and playing.
i have played/bought many guitars over the years, but this one has stayed on for the long haul. if something ever happens to it, i am going out and getting another one...
