Here on consignment is our second '68 ES-330 in as many months. If you spied the last one we had (which was fitted with a Bigsby) and didn't snatch it when you had the chance, here is your get out of jail free card. The "Long Neck" tag comes from the neck joining the body at the 19th fret, rather than the 16th fret on the standard ES-330. Both guitars share a 24 3/4" scale length.

This example has gloriously aged nitro checking seen across the mellow sunburst finish. The guitar is light and plays like a breeze, with what we would call a slim C neck. There are a few chips on the headstock but no evidence of a neck break anywhere. It has been re-fretted and is fitted with a set of Kluson repro tuners - the originals are in the case.
