Description
The Gibson MOD series celebrates that indefinable quality that all musicians instinctually know, but can’t always define: “mojo.” Selecting a particular model from their Historic lineup and slathering on the mojo, Gibson goes beyond just replicating and reinvents these iconic axes to create something entirely new and different. The Gibson Memphis 1959 ES-330 HB MOD features Grover “Milk Bottle” Rotomatic tuners, a trapeze tailpiece, black headstock stinger, and killer dual Memphis Historic Spec humbucking pickups to set off this ’59-style ES-330 in an unexpected way that’s sure to be appreciated by vintage collectors and modern players alike.
About Gibson Memphis:
Luthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. Ltd. in Kalamazoo, MI in 1902. Its original aim was to make mandolins and mandolin-family instruments. Over the last 100-plus years, Gibson Brands, Inc., as it is now known, has since evolved into the world’s premier manufacturer of semi-hollow and hollow body electric guitars, as well as a celebrated portfolio of innovative solid-body and acoustic models.
If Beale Street could talk, it might tell you about Gibson Memphis. Producing all of Gibson’s semi-hollow and hollow body guitars, the Gibson Memphis facility is the heart of the blues.
