Gibson / ES-330 TDC / 1962 / Cherry / Guitar
|
All-original 1962 Gibson ES-330 TDC. Has a ton of patina, and a ton of soul.
It has been honestly played for decades, non-stop. Just look at the beautiful wear on this guitar… the Custom Shop would never get it this good!
You know what I say about guitars with this type of wear: if it’s that played, it’s usually for a reason. Considering all the patina on it and the still-vibrant red, it’s probably seen more cigarrettes than sunlight, that’s for sure.
No refins, oversprays, repairs… nothing. It does have a refret, of course, as the neck heel strap button. Has a very, very old case, non Gibson. This seems to have suffered near the binding due to a third-party case hinge, causing some damage in the laminate. Not too bad or affecting much, but it’s there aesthetically. Not too obvious and only cosmetic, really. Incredibly lovely and lots of character in this one. Let the images do the talking.
100% original. It currently has a repro bridge but we will send it with a period-correct original one.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
