Gibson ES-339 Semi Hollow Body Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case
Gibson has introduced a new variation on an iconic guitar with the new ES-339. While retaining the classic look of its predecessor, the ES-335, Gibson has scaled down the size of the body to dimensions more reminiscent of their solidbody guitars. Those who felt that the ES-335 was not for them because of its large body will definitely re-evaluate once they give the ES-339 a go. You get all the comfort of the small body while retaining all the beautiful tonal qualities of a semi-hollow guitar!
The ES-339 features a semi-hollow maple body that emulates the classic ES-335. With its arched top and hollow “wings”, you get all the features that made the ES-335 the iconic guitar it is. A solid maple centerblock forms the “core” of the body, which eliminates any potential feedback normally associated with hollow-body guitars when played at high volume. Double-sided cream colored binding round out the traditional look of this new instrument.
This modern day classic employs a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers with a 3-way Pickup Selector. The 57 Classics accurately recreate the tone and performance of original PAF humbuckers that made the Les Paul Standard and the ES-335 an easy choice for blues and rock & roll players of the late 50’s. Countless historical groundbreaking recordings were made using Gibson guitars outfitted with these pickups. Much like the Les Paul, each pickup has its own volume and tone controls and is accompanied by a 3-way selector switch.
The 24.75” scale Mahogany hand-set neck has a rounded 1950's profile, a rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, a 12” radius, and a 1-11/16” nut. The ES-339’s chrome nickel hardware is rounded out by a Tune-o-Matic/Stop Bar bridge/tailpiece combo for tuning and intonation stability. Machine heads are Kluson-style, green tulip-button tuners with a 12:1 turn ratio. A Hardshell Case is included.
