Wanted to share. I found this at a private auction in may. Plays like a dream. All original beside upgraded tuners. The original and only owner had his name “Larry” as a custom inlay. Cool piece of history.
1963 Gibson ES-330

Nice...
Groovy!
My first Gibson was a mid 60’s ES-330, acquired when I was 15, in 1972.
Yours is in way better shape.
Congratulations!

Sweet!! Congrats, she is a beauty. It's going to be tough coming up with a nickname for this guitar! (/s)
DROOL!!!!!!!
Like most of us, I have a few guitars that "got away" over the years. One, in the late-ish 1960's was a (unknown age) Walnut finish ES 330. A friend was selling for somewhere around $200-250, and I just didn't have the money. I did borrow it for a gig, and it was amazing. Not long after I passed it up I found my 1960 Les Paul Jr......so that was a nice consolation.

What a beauty!
Forgive me if I'm being too intrusive, but how much was it?
I've heard of great deals being had at private auctions.

My buddy has a mid 60’s burgundy sparkle 330, it was his first electric and he got it when we were 15-16 along with an ampeg Gemini 1-12
that is one of the best playing guitars I’ve ever touched, with the ampeg it was a great sounding rig. Too bad the ampeg needs to be resurrected but he’s still got it….
also too bad he’s not rocking out because he also has a 67 pro reverb that is also seriously cool sounding but loud

That's one of my bucket list guitars! Really nice find, although "Larry" on the HS would bug me.

Hey guys...Wanted to open this thread back up. So recently I tried to make a trade for this guitar, and it was found that at one point, the original owner had a headstock repair on this. Could you help me in determining what does to the value on this? Thanks.
