I just finished watching the DVD call "Tom Dowd, The Language of Music", and I was pleasantly surprised to see a short clip of Joe Bonomassa in the Atlantic Recording Studios playing a 1960/61 dot neck ES-330 TD. Of all the guitars Joe B. could have recorded with, here he was playing a "humble" Gibson ES-330 w/ Bigsby. Joe B. sounded incredible playing this guitar. At first I thought it was an old ES-335, but then I noticed the tell-tale black P-90 pickups and short neck. And not a hint of feedback, just smooth, lightning fast, blues heaven. I had no idea you could get tone like that out of an ES-330. Unfortunately the clip didn't show the amp he was playing through, but to me it sounded like a Tweed Bassman or Marshall Bluesbreaker combo.
Besides clips of Joe Bonomasa, there are tons of historical clips of other artists from the 1950's and 60's on this DVD. Nice.:applaude
