The Gibson version of the Casino was the ES-330. My father owns one from around 1962 - gifted to him from one of his guitar students. This particular guitar most likely started out as a Gibson ES-330 but "customized" by an employee who liked the name Casino better than ES-330.

@radrandall 2 жыл бұрын

This guitar has the Casino fret board inlays, which are slightly different than the es-330. I think it started out as a Casino. The headstock is from an ES-345, not as ES-330. When the headstock broke, it is possible that the whole thing was replaced. It is curious that the orange label is so faded and discolored. I have heavily used orange label Gibsons, but the labels maintain their orange color.

@Aceroxx02 2 жыл бұрын

@@radrandall No, it started as a Gibson 330. Look at the headstock. It probably had the fretboard switched. OR like I said, it was a custom one off by someone who worked there for themselves. As for the crown inlay, for a 345, they simply used a 345 headstock overlay.

It’s peculiar how people seem to experience better tone, corresponding with techniques widely spread by fora, like letting wood breathe. Usually fed from people observing old guitars, where the lacquer have been worn off from playing, sounding amazing. At least when someone named Rory is playing them. A great violinist, playing a Stradivarius, once had a visitor in his dressing room, the visitor complimented how amazing the violin sounded. The violinist opened the case, listened briefly and said: I don’t here anything.

It's called "The placebo effect", and it's a lot stronger than most would think, let alone admit. I have been building and repairing stringed musical instruments for 40+ years, and only at very first fell for some of the snake oil, but thanks to having studied electrical and mechanical engineering at the same time, and then geeking out on physics big time, learned the difference between fact and fiction pretty early on. The hardest thing to deal with, are perceived "Something special" about a physically impossible, or at least immeasurable difference nowhere near audible within the human range of hearing. Things like "This nut makes the whole instrument sound better" even on fretted strings where it has no bearing whatsoever in any audible way, the removing the finish of an electric instrument, phony misconceptions like "Tonewood" and the like where: a. the pickups cannot sense wood, but only string vibrations, and b. any string vibration into the neck and body (the preferred Good vibes BS) is at near 94% loss due to the vibrations being converted from linear waves (Strings) to radial ones (body and neck, which are forced frequencies, not resonant ones, and therefore decay quickly, where most are carried off by the players body and the surrounding air air, and any residual within a sympathetic range that can reflect back to the strings, only converts back divided by pi so an additional ~2/3 loss to the strings going from radial back to linear, leaving just enough to aid a little sustain one would not need if the instrument was stiff as a rock, and didn't vibrate as much to begin with!

@@Bob-of-Zoid I agree, with about 15 years experience. The only way to end a discussion about i.e. tone wood properties, in electrical instruments, is to ask for proof. Wood, as you say, does not influence impedance, magnetism or any other factors that makes an electrical instrument produce sounds. And the “I HEAR A DIFFERENCE” argument simply isn’t scientific. I usually claim that practicing your scales will improve your music much more, than changing the fretboard wood of your guitar. Can you imagine the talent, a musician needs to posses, in order for the perceived subtle nuances, in the instrument, to actually make a difference?

When I wax pot pickups, I have figured out a long time ago that the wax has to get sufficiently fluid in temperature and stay that way to really penetrate and do it's job. So I tape off any areas of the pickup I don't want wax on, or to run out once done, and do submerge the pickup as soon as they will sink in (let them do it all by themselves) so that the pickups and wax reach the right temperature closer to the same time, and use the wax pot (no jar) on top of a vibrating plate (a bonus) so that the wax penetrates much easier. Temp control is important though, and low and slow works best; once it flows just right ~145F, then keep the temp there and steady. That way you can watch the bubbles come out and when that subsides turn off the heat let it cool down, but don't take the pickups out until the temp is at ~120F to prevent too much wax run-out. You can't get any more thorough penetration, and I have yet to overheat a pickup and cause damage, as the wax melts much sooner as any plastics in the bobbins or any lacquer on the wire, and by heating them up together, rather than shocking cold pickups with hot wax, you greatly reduce the chances of rapid expansion, leading to lacquer cracking and electrical shorts... Sure, there is more cleanup when done, but paraffin wax is not too hard to get off when still hot. So I let them cool thoroughly first, and then use a heat gun and and scratch free shop towel (the blue paper towel like ones) to soak up any larger unwanted deposits, mainly around the screws. For any residuals on the housing, I use another shop towel with vegetable oil (a lipophilic solvent) and a bit of elbow grease, and that does the trick in removing any fine film, or spots previously missed, and follow it with a damp (closer to dry) microfiber cloth to remove any veggie oil. I don't use it on salads... Olive oil is much better for that! Yum! (

I had an excellent luthier here in the Bay Area, Stephen White, do some work on it a few years ago and he believes it was probably made by a Gibson employee as a one off.

I have ‘63 ES-330 that I bought around Y2K. Absolutely luv it. Been toying around w/ doing a refret on it w/ taller frets. I will run the frets to the fingerboard edge to gain more acreage at the nut. A new nut w/ wider spacing will need to be made. This will help playability for me since I have big fingers… Also on the bridge post screws: Mine were loose & wobbley, causing the bridge to lean forward. I replaced them with stainless steel screws & superglued them in place. Along with that; I put another set of height adjusting wheels (orig were missing) against the top as they should be. Bridge is rock-solid now w/o any movement. ThxTed for sharing all your expertise on repairing guitars & your exclnt presentations…
