not much to say about this one. Just in from the original owner and in near mint original condition is this 1967 Gibson ES-330 TDC.
becomes an original case with the original paperwork and accessories you see in the photos. It even includes the very rare Gibson Dash branded bridge adjustment screw driver.
In the Early 1970s the original owner upgraded the tuners to the tulip button style. The original tuners are in the case if you wish to reinstall them.
The guitar looks to be otherwise all original. I cannot read the pot codes because they are covered in solder. But all Gibson serial numbers that start with a zero were made in 1967.
The finish only has incidental handling wear. It was not played much by the original owner. It’s not “perfect“ in the sense that it’s totally flawless as if it came right out of the factory and the case was never opened up. But if we distinguish a “mint“ guitar from a “brand new“ guitar as per the Reverb guidelines, I would not hesitate to call this “mint“ with the proviso that a vintage guitar gets just a little more “grace“ than a newer guitar. But because “mint“ sometimes means “absolutely perfect“ to some buyers I will opt with “near mint.” Main areas of handling where are some pick scratches on the pickguard and near the neck pick up. There are some minor marks on the back but it’s pretty minimal
