Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a fully hollow maple/poplar/maple body with no center block, this 1959 ES-330 Reissue brings a notably open, acoustic-forward response to an electric-guitar setup. Its pair of custom-voiced Dogear P-90s is designed for articulate attack, harmonic detail and touch-sensitive dynamics. The Authentic 1959 C mahogany neck, bound rosewood fingerboard, trapeze tailpiece and VOS finish keep the instrument focused on its late-'50s specification. It can be played unplugged at home, then taken into studio or amplified stage work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Home playing where the fully hollow body’s acoustic presence can be used without plugging in.
- Studio and amplified performances that benefit from articulate P-90 attack and dynamic response.
- Players seeking a 1959-spec ES-330 with an Authentic 1959 C neck profile.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require a hollowbody with a center block.
