Slim Harpo "Lovell" ES-330

- Gibson is proud to introduce the "Lovell" ES-330 hollow body guitar; a tribute to Slim Harpo and his wife Lovell, a creative tandem that developed a unique sound and produced chart-topping hits during the 50s and early 60s.
The new Gibson Slim Harpo “Lovell” ES-330 hollow body guitar is part tribute, part historical artifact that celebrates the influential, albeit short career of James H. Moore aka Slim Harpo. Slim was a working man’s blues man from Lobdell, Louisiana; holding down 9 to 5 gigs as a longshoreman, and iron scrap hauler in addition to his side hustle as an artist. His wife and collaborator; Lovell, for whom the guitar is named was a huge influence and contributor to Slim’s evolution as performer and song writer. Together they forged a creative partnership that yielded pop-crossover success in the late 50’s and 60s, an era that was less than kind to black artists. Despite this, it didn’t take long for others to recognize and be inspired by Harpo’s talent and unique take on the Blues; a subgenre he unwittingly created appropriately called Louisiana Swamp Blues. Slim’s most popular tune “I’m a King Bee” achieved cross-over success at a time when that was far from the norm. Other artists also achieved chart successes with their covers of “King Bee” including the Rolling Stones, The Grateful Dead, Lou Rawls, and Muddy Waters among others. While Slim’s time on the planet was short, his impact and influence are and will continue to inspire for generations to come.
The Slim Harpo "Lovell" ES-330 features 3-ply maple / poplar / maple top, back and sides with spruce bracing, a mahogany neck with rounded C profile, rosewood fretboard with small block inlays, ABR-1 bridge with Trapeze tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with white buttons, Dogear P-90 pickups with hand-wired controls and Orange Drop® capacitors, and has a custom "Lovell" logo on the back of the headstock to honor Slim Harpo's life partner, manager and the co-writer of many of his biggest hits, Lovell Moore.

Dear Gibson, if this isn’t the start point for a series of documentaries on the original blues guys, narrated by today’s blues guys , I don’t know what is. Guaranteed audience for you.
Amen brother,
Great idea.
Omg great idea yes this would be awesome
Excellent idea!!
second that
Getting Keb' Mo' for this video was such a wise decision!
nicely done, Gibson- perfect way to honor Slim.
This is a style of video I would watch to learn about musicians from the past, if only it was a full episode length of a video 🤙
Keb’ Mo’ means immediate thumbs up. The dude is just such a phenomenal and likable musician and his love for blues is just extremely contagious.
Beautifully produced "film." And a nice way to re-introduce the 330. I hope you sell a million of them. And good job, Mr. Mo' ...
Very tasteful cinematography, and the guitar is gorgeous too. Would love to get my hands on one. Well done Gibson.
The es 330 has been my dream guitar for years.
Slim Harpo, Legendary blues tone
Really appreciate you guys giving slim some love. Big fan of his.
Thanks for a glimpse into the life of Slim. Beautifully done.
Well done Gibson. This is a great tribute!
This is so good I had to watch it 3 times; thank you for posting this on Slim.
Wonderful piece for a wonderful man
Such a fitting editorial style, and Artist-series guitar for an icon. Great job Gibson!
Wow this is a beautiful guitar. "Somewhat overshadowed in the annals of American music history." Really nice to see this one come around. Well done, Gibson.
Great video Gibson - awesome subject artist and narrator. Don’t forget lefties like ES-330s also.
Beautiful. The king bee!
Damn that is a beautiful guitar
Best guitar advert I've seen in a long time. Hope it's the start of a trend
Gibson TV,
This was brilliant.
Thank you very much.
Legend! This is one beautiful Little Queen Bee!!
Doh! - was really getting into that.... then it ended.
beautiful guitar
Awesome video! Yes more blues footage please, nice! Cheers
Beautiful guitar for a iconic bluesman and great song writer
First thing I thought when I seen this was, Shake Your Hips(rolling stones exile on main street. Bad ass Gibson!! Do tha hip shake baby....
these videos are awesome to watch
So well done! Great featurette on both Slim Harpo and the ES-330. Bonus points for the narration by 'Keb 'Mo. Excellent videography/editing and sound as well. Kudos.
Lovely looking guitar Gibson!
What a guitar! That thing approaches perfect on quite a few levels for me.
Wow, I’ve never heard that interview with Slim Harpo and never knew one existed! Amazing.
I have this guitar and its awesome. bought it new it had a minor qc problem but my tech fixed it and it now plays like a dream.
All over this!!! Outstanding Gibson!!!
Gibson, what gauge strings on on this? 9s, 10s? Thanks.
@@timbrundage3745 The Gibson site shows stock 10-46s on this model
@@tonekilltech Thank you! I went over to Gibson's site but must have missed it.
#GibsonTv never let's you down, everything they do is excellent !!!
popularity be damned, Slim was one of the best blues players ever. nice looing guitar, too.
Certified Gold!!!!!
That's a beautiful color 330! nice
Ooh i love keb mo great vid
Just freaking awesome!!
Who could thumb down on this??? Great stuff
Very cool!
THIS IS GORGEOUS!!
Love this!!
Really awesome!!!
Sometimes y’all do something worthwhile, sometimes it’s just junk with balding, old, posturing “rock stars.” This is one that’s worthwhile. Keep ‘em coming.
BEAUTIFUL job Gibson!
Gibson is killing it lately! Love that!
Slim wasn't just an accomplished harmonica player. He was THE harmonica player
Cool 330!
First I learn about Gibson's Noel Gallagher signature guitar, then about American-Made Casinos and now THIS, all in one day?? If that ain't a musical-trinity of a sign to finally pull off that bank heist, I don't know what is....
Very nice video
This is vibe.
Dear Gibson, you know what would be fantastic? A reissue of Barrie Cadogan’s 1962 Gibson ES-330 with a Bigsby. I would buy it in a minute. Barrie is currently the best 330 player around. That would be a great nice to have him as a Gibson artist. Cheers from Berlin. Yann
Just bought one. Really excited for my first ES
This is so cool
Give me that, so beatiful
Where is his guitar nowadays? This is a beautiful tribute but if you guys did 25-50 Custom Shop VOS models spec'd to the real guitar that'd be amazing.
Cool guitar
Fabulous
Give me the Lightnin Hopkins acoustic!
P90'S !!!!
I want to know everything bout him!!
Is Gibson still manufacturing these in 2021? They are showing up on Reverb, sporadically, but out of stock on Gibson site.
This or the Made In USA Casino coming out later this year? They appear identical, headstock aside. Price is nearly identical too. Decisions decisions
Keb!
Scratch my back!
Hey Gibson TV! Great Guitar. What kind of amp are you showing us on 1:46?
👍👍
Where can I buy one? Website says sold out and no dealers have any. Isn’t this a 2021 model?
Check the Gibson Garage opening June 9
@@gibsonguitar Sweet! I see three hanging off the wall in the Gibson Garage teasers. Will there be an online store or phone number to order from? Sweetwater, GC, and CME don't have any more of these models. Thank you!
@@gibsonguitar @@gibsonguitar Hi there! What's the best number to reach the store? Would love to buy that Harpo!
Nice tribute to Slim, needs more sound slips of the guitar being sold as well. smh.
The finish of the guitar in this video looks much much lighter in color than the photo on the Gibson website. Anyone know if the guitar looks more like it does on the website or this video?
Soooo......a new USA made epiphone casino £2500 or this Gibson beauty at £2500
A vintage Casino would have my vote. A new Gibson 330 will have my money.
long over due
He was the first cool dude.
What about them Mustaine guitars?
This is a cool guitar. I wish you would make a replica of Emily Remler's ES-330.
@Delmond DeVaux No, she didn't. The guitar on the Firefly and Take Two covers is a red 330 with humbuckers. You can see where the neck and body are joined together and find articles about it's restoration.
Thanks to the Rolling Stones for making Slim Harpo a well known name, I guess.
So you release it but only make 100 so nobody can buy them? and the price gets jacked immediately Thanks a lot
Deberían sortear una guitarra a nivel mundial para marketearse mas
Nice guitar but you'll need $3,000.00 to take one home.
Which is a typical price for a mid tier Gibson ES model.
I really hate the fact that guitar is my life, but I will probably never be able to buy a Gibson....
Gibson doesn't need to do biographies to advertise
Sounds like Samuel Jackson doing the commentary...?
No disrespect to slim harpo, but what's the deal with all of the signature guitars? I would rather see Gibson focus on making non-signature base models the best they possibly can, and also start working on getting their prices down so normal working musicians can afford their instruments. Every Gibson I own was purchased used due to price, because you guys have this exclusivity factor where you believe that only certain people should be able to have one of your instruments. The models that you have that are part of what I would call your "economy line" would have been better served being turned into a coffee table.
You are better off buying used anyway. I have purchased two Les Pauls, a 330 and an SG; all custom shop guitars, for much less than any "heavily discounted" new price. I am not a lawyer or trust fund kid...rather, I am a working musician who requires good instruments. I agree with what you say about Gibson's "economy line"...anything below custom shop level I have seen is crap. Save your dough, buy wise and you can get a decent custom shop guitar made by Gibson
I agree with you.
I have been a Slim fan since the '70's when I came across his records. Interesting that Gibson chose to issue a 335 in Slim's name when there are few who even know who he is today. It's a cool idea but probably another dumb business decision by Gibson - what's new?
@Delmond DeVaux Probably a very small run
"I'd never be able to afford this guitar today and neither would anyone that listened to me. Who's this price point for?" ~Slim, probably.
In 1962 this guitar was $285 plus $52 for the hard shell case. In today’s dollars, that is $2928.50.
@@gibsonguitar Look at what minimum wage could get you in 1962 as opposed to today. That's an apples and oranges comparison.
Slim harpo is my favorite blues guy who wasn’t signed to chess. Easily in my top 5 and maybe for such a small catalog, song for song he might be my favorite.
Has anyone played this guitar? How was it? What are your thoughts? Thanks
