The 1962 ES-330 Reissue is the same fully hollow, no-centerblock thinline built to the same standard — but with the spec changes that crept into the ES-330 as the model matured into the early sixties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fundamentals are identical to the '59. The three-ply maple\/poplar\/maple body with no centerblock gives you that wide-open, resonant acoustic voice that makes the ES-330 one of the most rewarding guitars to play unplugged, and a complex, airy character when amplified that you simply don't get from a semi-hollow. The Dogear P-90 set is the same matched pair — standard-wound Alnico 3 at the bridge, underwound Alnico 5 at the neck — hand-wired through CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors. Same long neck tenon, same 16th-fret neck joint, same Historic no-wire ABR-1 bridge and trapeze tailpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's different is the neck and the cosmetics. The one-piece mahogany neck is carved to a SlimTaper 60s C profile rather than the chunkier Authentic 1959 C — noticeably slimmer and less rounded, which is going to appeal to players who prefer a sleeker feel in the left hand. The bound rosewood fretboard trades the '59's dot inlays for cellulose small blocks, giving the 1962 a slightly more dressed-up look. And the knobs shift from gold Top Hats to black Top Hats with silver inserts and dial pointers — a small visual detail, but one that immediately reads as early-sixties Gibson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything else carries over: VOS nitrocellulose lacquer, nickel hardware, nylon nut, Kluson Deluxe tuners, ES-330 multi-ply pickguard, and a Lifton reissue hardshell case with Certificate of Authenticity. It's the same guitar with the same voice, just wearing a slightly different suit and shaped for a different hand preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe same caveats that apply to the '59 apply here. This is a fully hollow guitar with no centerblock, which means it's more prone to feedback than a semi-hollow at high volume and high gain. That's the nature of the design, and it's the reason the ES-330 sounds the way it does. For players who value dynamics, touch sensitivity, and that open, resonant character, the trade-off is well worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody: Maple\/Poplar\/Maple, Hollow\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: ES-335 Thinline\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Single-Ply Top and Back\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Vintage Burst, VOS Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck: One-Piece Mahogany, Long Neck Tenon\u003cbr\u003eNeck Profile: SlimTaper 60s C \u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood, Bound\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003cbr\u003eFrets: 22, Reissue Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Cellulose Small Block\u003cbr\u003eNut: Nylon\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 1.69\" \u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003ePickups: Dogear P-90 (Neck), Dogear P-90 (Bridge)\u003cbr\u003ePickup Covers: Black Dogear\u003cbr\u003eControls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way Toggle\u003cbr\u003eBridge: Historic No-Wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Trapeze\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Kluson Deluxe\u003cbr\u003eHardware Finish: Nickel\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: ES-330 Multi-Ply\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs: Black Top Hats with Silver Inserts and Dial Pointers\u003cbr\u003ePlastic Parts: Black\u003cbr\u003eStrings: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell Lifton Reissue\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Certificate of Authenticity\u003cbr\u003eModel Number: 62ES330VOVBNH1\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52569298731320,"sku":"210000029751","price":8099.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/2712\/4002\/files\/sg9xc33tseg4lr7tuv7c.jpg?v=1782426955","url":"https:\/\/guitarworks.ca\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-1962-es-330-reissue-vos-vintage-burst-w-case","provider":"Guitarworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
