ElNumero Posted April 12, 2022 Posted April 12, 2022 This arrived over the weekend. I have been intriqued by the 530, so I decided to spring for one on Reverb. It was a 2019 NOS, not even a fingerprint on it. Tags still on the TKL case and the inside case pocket had all the original candy from the factory. I cannot believe how light this guitar is, and its definitely going to stay on the hanger for some time, its so much fun to play. And how can one go wrong with trans cherry red!

Paul, the Guitar Czar had a brand new one, for $2399, still a great deal when you consider $3199 retail, but he would not budge any further on the price or shipping so I let that one go. The one I bought was $550 less, a 2019, but it is brand new in every sense, NOS. The seller was Judy's Gear Depot. Real nice honest gal. I am super happy with the deal. She gave me free shipping too, which was not in her original listing.
ElNumero Posted April 12, 2022 Author Posted April 12, 2022 I find it interesting that G brand does not offer the 330 any longer in their standard line-up, but they do offer the Slim Harpo 330 Artist model, at $200 cheaper than Heritage wants for their 330 standard. Who would ever have thought Heritage being more expensive than G!?

It's a beauty. I owned the first production model, a 2015 Almond Burst, that has since gone to a new owner. As for availability, they seem to still be sold new from the factory, Musicians Friend/Guitar Center and Sweetwater's website. Hmmm...

I was wondering what year they started producing them.
