The guitar is NOT for a collector. This IS however the best playing/sounding ES-330's you can buy for this price range.Why spend $4k if you can get the same sound for half!The guitar is in fully working order. Neck is straight, plays excellent (seriously). It plays AWESOME with super low action. The guitar comes with a newer hardshell case as shown (I'll add more pics tonight) . . . Excellent player guitar. Real-deal '63 with some changes. Has non-original tailpiece, bridge, knobs, and finish. The black finish has some light sparkle in it. Neck is about 1 5/8 inches at the nut. Missing binding on treble side and the neck has been shaved slightly to compensate for the missing binding. Original nickel P-90's, original electronics, original single line Kluson tuners… Professionally set up and plays very well. The pickups sound phenomenal.
