Gibson ES 330 L

Gibson ES 330 L

Today, we are featuring another beautiful guitar from the Gibson Custom Shop; The ES 330L. While not part of Gibson’s standard production line, a few reissues seem to trickle out of Memphis every couple of years, and we simply can’t get our hands on enough of them. In fact, we have had several of these instruments through our shop over the past year, and every single one has sold before we get the chance to post it online! A couple of months ago, we received an ES 330 L with a beautiful cherry finish. Determined to post a review of the guitar before someone bought it, I unpacked the guitar, sat down, and got straight to work.

Gibson Jam Master F-style and A-style Mandolins NO LONGER AVAILABLE

The season of the summer jams is here, and Gibson Original Acoustic Instruments kicks off the pickin’ and grinnin’ around campfires and festival sites across the country with the introduction of the new Jam Master Series line of mandolins. Both models in the new series – an A-style and an F-style – focus on a no-compromises approach to tone and playability, while easing back on the trimmings to provide a roadworthy Gibson mandolin at an attractive price. The Jam Master A- and F-style mandolins descend straight out of hallowed Gibson tradition, but offer two accessible new options to the player who wants to get their jam on, in whatever setting, with whatever kind of music.

*NO LONGER AVAILABLE* Gibson CF-100E Reissue

It is hard to get a real sense of just how radical the CF-100E was in the early ’50s when it was introduced. This was the first production cutaway acoustic guitar with on-board pickup ever made for goodness sakes! Before this model came along, folks just had to stand as close to a microphone as possible to attempt to be heard when performing … and if you wanted to take a lead, you were definitely playing below the 14th fret!
