Built in Memphis during the early 2000s, it keeps the classic semi-hollow construction and 24.75-inch scale, but adds a thinner satin finish, hotter pickups and a rear electronics access panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eCherry Red Satin\u003c\/strong\u003e example delivers the open, resonant feel people love about Gibson's ES guitars, with a slightly rawer and more direct character than a traditional gloss-finished 335.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic Semi-Hollow Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-333 uses a \u003cstrong\u003elaminated maple\/poplar body\u003c\/strong\u003e with a solid maple centre block. That gives it the familiar combination of airy hollowbody resonance and the sustain and feedback resistance of a centre-block design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMahogany Neck \u0026amp; Rosewood Fingerboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003emahogany neck\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003erosewood fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e keep the playing feel familiar to Gibson players. The 24.75-inch scale gives the strings a slightly softer feel and makes bends and vibrato easy under the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e490R \u0026amp; 498T Humbuckers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory ES-333s were fitted with a \u003cstrong\u003eGibson 490R neck humbucker\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e498T bridge humbucker\u003c\/strong\u003e. Compared with a more vintage-voiced ES-335 setup, this pairing gives the guitar a little more output and upper-mid presence, making it especially useful for rock, blues and driven tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSatin Finish \u0026amp; Rear Access Panel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of the ES-333's appeal is its no-frills design. The thin satin finish gives the guitar a broken-in feel and lets the wood resonate freely, while the \u003cstrong\u003erear electronics access panel\u003c\/strong\u003e makes servicing and modifications far easier than on a traditional ES-335.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Gibson ES-333\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Cherry Red Satin \/ Faded Cherry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Memphis, Tennessee, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Type: Semi-Hollow Double Cutaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop \u0026amp; Back: Laminated Maple \/ Poplar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre Block: Solid Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Inlays: Pearloid Dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.6875\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Joint: 19th Fret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Gibson 490R Humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Gibson 498T Humbucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: 2 x Volume, 2 x Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: ABR-style Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Stopbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Green Key Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Electronics Access Panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great fit for players who want classic Gibson semi-hollow feel but prefer something a little more stripped-back and aggressive than a standard ES-335.

What started as a simplified ES model now feels like a cult favourite because of its satin finish, hotter pickup set and practical rear access panel. It still gives you the core semi-hollow Gibson character, but with a slightly leaner and more player-focused personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable from \u003cstrong\u003eColemans Music South Melbourne\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eFast Shipping Aus Wide\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67750549651508,"sku":"210000078775","price":3599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5386\/3220\/files\/PRELOVED-GIBSON-ES-333-Cherry-Red-Satin-1.jpg?v=1792719534","url":"https:\/\/www.colemansmusic.com.au\/products\/preloved-gibson-es-333-cherry-red-satin","provider":"Colemans Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
