330 Desert Gold

Post by jwilli »

I recently picked up a 2001 330 Desert Gold on Ebay. After it arrived, I replaced the strings with .052s. It made a huge difference! I will have to widen the low "E" slot but the rest fit nicely. Sustain and tone are great! All this with Hi Gains too. Wow.

Would that be an .11 high E, John?

My local dealer had a new one that never sold until recently. Many other 330s had come and gone but that one never sold. It was a nice looking guitar too.

The D'Aquisto flat wound set that I'm using on my 1981 460 BG are 052-042-032-022-016-012, and I love 'em. No intonation problems, too!

John, yep 11 high E. I like these heavier gauge string sets best.
