Seriously nice guitar; seriously GREAT Wes.

I have to say in terms of tone I really dug the first 20 seconds- neck pickup very clean. When he started with the bridge pup, pedals, and even picking near the bridge, YUCK!

this reminds me why I put a Lollar CC on my ES-339 and mothballed the bridge pup

I don't know the size of Greg's bizness in Germany, but something tells me if he were on this side of the pond he'd be moving some gear.....

Gregor Hilden playing guitars is like Penelope Cruz modeling clothes - what ever they grab sounds and looks great. Not that I think the VOS 59 ES330 is anything but fabulous.

Hey Goerge, did those Kluson butter bean tuners came stock with that guitar? I seen other ES-330's that had the Kluson tulip tuners, which were not historically correct.

High Kenny, sorry for the late reply.

Yes they are stock. Apparently the red version (with bigsby) has different tuners I would imagine to work with the Bigsby.

My CS 330 came in laughably poorly setup. There was a high spacer under a pup and the TOM was set up really, REALLY high to keep the strings from hitting the pup. I loved the guitar and bought a new pup cover for it, dropped the pup directly on the top without the spacer and could then lower the bridge to make it playable.

I wish they had also used a wood archtop / violin type bridge or even a TOM on a wood base and not sunk those posts into wood, it may have had a better acoustic influence on the sound but, it is what it is a beautiful and great sounding guitar.

For those of you not into spending the buckaziods on one, the Epiphone Casino is every bit the guitar a 330 is at a SUBSTANTIALLY lower cost.
