Harness the vibe of a classic with the Gibson Memphis 1961 ES-330 Figured hollowbody electric guitar. This guitar's 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body really shouts, exhibiting solid mids and a sizable helping of high-end bite. Two P-90 single-coil pickups yield a cutting growl with enough output to push your amp. The 1961 ES-330's highly playable Traditional C-shaped neck feels smooth and comfortable in your hand. Built to period-correct specs, including the iconic Mickey Mouse ears body shape, the Gibson Memphis 1961 ES-330 Figured is the closest thing to owning an extremely rare hollowbody electric guitar.

• One of Gibson's only fully hollow thinlines
• P-90 single-coils onboard
• Clarity of maple, balance of poplar, and warmth of a hollowbody

The ES-330 has been around since its release in 1959. The guitar shares the same fully hollow construction and dual P-90 pickups as the popular Epiphone Casino (which Gibson owns), but the ES-330 was actually first to the table. The guitar's resonant sound adds warmth and an extremely lively timbre to the tone of this 1961 ES-330 Figured. And the two single-coil pickups give you more cut than a standard humbucker, but also allow for more low-mid warmth than may be expected. It's easy to see why players such as the Beatles and Gary Clark Jr. have favored this design for decades.

The Gibson Memphis 1961 ES-330 Figured is fitted with two P-90 pickups. Gibson's first successful single-coil pickup, the P-90 can be heard on countless classic recordings. By virtue of their biting treble and high output, the guitarists here at Hiendguitar have found that P-90s clean up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. And when you hit your amp hard, the P-90 really wails. It's an amazingly versatile pickup (more so, arguably, than most humbuckers).

One of the reasons for the ES-330's enduring legacy is the guitar's maple construction, which adds bite and attack to your tone. And maple is also a great tonewood choice for increasing sustain. The Gibson Memphis 1961 ES-330 Figured's maple body is layered with poplar, which balances its brightness with equal doses of lows, mids, and highs. Add to that the warmth provided by a hollowbody, and you have a tonal balance that fits into any musical situation.

• 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body delivers solid mids with plenty of high-end bite

• VOS appointments like a nylon nut, Kluson button tuners, and vintage-correct fret wire
