NGD '14 ES 330

Post by goldtop0 »

It arrived last week per USPS International Parcel Post which turned out to be efficient in the end.
These guitars are no longer in production because they're nowhere near as popular as the 335s. To me however for the styles I play it's a perfect guitar, much lighter in weight and with a crisper more spanky sound than their more favoured humbuckered counterpart. Love the P90s.
Hasn't got a real fat neck as I like but has the width and straight shoulders to give it a fuller feel in the left hand, it's a keeper.

That's nice, I used to own one, it was lovely.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

that looks great - is it the same size as a 335, but has p90's instead of humbuckers?

It's also fully hollow compared to the 335

Wow, cool, haven't seen one of these in years. Recall them being really different to 335s: brighter, quite raw/aggressive, feed back quickly (in a good way). Would love to own one!

An inch shorter than the 335 as it has a neck that joins the body at the 16th fret whereas the 335 is at the 19th fret.
Hollow body and the P90s. I don't play really loud these days or with high gain so not prone to feedback for me at all on stage.
Doin' that scrapyard thing.
