A while back I sold a sweet sounding '67 ES-330, with a nut that was a bit narrow for my taste. I have been wanting another 330 ever since.
A NOS 2012 VSB VOS ES-330 has popped up locally (South Africa) for a little under $2800. Keep in mind over here Gibson prices are ludicrous due to import duties and a weak currency, but $2800 seems like too good a deal to pass on. I don't think they imported many 330s and the next batch, if they get any, will cost a lot more.
I know the 2012 330s has the laminate fretboards, which probably won't be an issue down the line, but still a bit worrying. l have a 1 guitar per year rule, which I used to buy a Linhof tele, but I do feel I am going to kick myself if I pass on this guitar.
It looks great, I love the chunky neck, I get a Gibson warranty and the P90s sound sweet.
I need some enablers to make me pull the trigger on this or the voice of reason to pass on it.:dang
