django49 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago When you know you have outlived things.....WAY back when, I got an original ES-330 for $100 (cherry red with chrome covered pickups). IIRC, I late on sold it for $185 to some hippie that wanted to strip it and paint dragons on it.....Gone the way of tree fitty. Prices are relative so many years later, but $3500 and wondering about the usual Gibson questions(?) After a dozen or two Gibson semis of almost all varieties, I ended down to the "best," a later reissue 335 (blonde) upgraded with Lollar Imperials. I ended up with a handful of "boutique" versions that did it better.....For about half again as much more (yeah, USED), I ended up keeping a Huber Rietbergen....Just made me lose my desire to hang on to that last Gibson. Yeah, I know, a $5k Rietbergen is not likely to be found these days......😉 My 2 cents, FWIW, after inflation...... Quote
bruce919 Posted 56 minutes ago Posted 56 minutes ago Im sure Gibson did a ES-330 with humbuckers while they were being made the now closed Memphis plant. I have seen a few pop on the used market. Quote
