1966 Gibson ES-330 (plus a Toronto street scene).  

The Epiphone version of this guitar was the Casino.  At well under 7 pounds, this guitar is light as a feather (well…a heavy feather anyway…).  One day I hope to find a 1968 ES-330.  ‘68 was the year they went to the “long neck” on which the the neck join is moved up by several frets (from 15 to 19 maybe?  I can’t remember exactly…), making access to the top-most frets easier.  The ES-335, 345 and 355 always had this join, but it took until 1968 to find it on the 330.

Do you think that Spring is here to stay in Toronto?  I’d love to think so, but I have been already let me down several times this year!

Here are some shots of sunny Toronto, and my guitar rack with some of my favourite guitars hanging from it.  Including my 1968 Gibson SG Special, my recently acquired Turquoise Rickenbacker 360, and my seldom-seen, but totally fun and sub-6.5 lbs Gibson Nighthawk Studio which I bought precisely 2 years ago in New York City.
