Folks,

Any info and specifications would be helpful. In particular the year, nut width, your opinion on condition (I realize not great photos), etc.

Thank you for your time, JohnnyB

Looks like it could be a '66 ES-330 to me, although that serial number could make it a '69 too. Nut widths can vary, but are generally around 1 9/16" for that era.

Pickguard and knobs match 1966, and not 1969. So I think you got it.

And if nut width matters, it needs to be measured. :ganz


I like to measure them with my hands, but that's just me. :salude
