The body was 19 in (48 cm) long, 16 in (41 cm) wide and 1.75 in (4.4 cm) deep. Initially the neck met the body at the 16th fret, rather than the 19th-fret on the ES-335. In 1968 Gibson changed the 330 to meet the body at the 19th. The 330 was hollow, whereas the 335 had a center block to prevent feedback.

The Gibson ES series of semi-acoustic guitars (hollow body electric guitars) are manufactured by the Gibson Guitar Corporation.

Another type of guitar is the low-pitched bass guitar.
