Gibson ES-339 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Cherry

This Gibson ES-339 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar is a beautiful version of the much-loved classic. The 339 originated as an alternative to Gibson’s ES-335, retaining much of the wonderful sustain and tone but wrapping it in a smaller, lighter and more comfortable package. 

This popular guitar has a distinctly vintage sound and style, but also an added peppering of modern cut. Its body features a 3-ply construction made up of Maple/Poplar/Maple with a solid Maple centre block and Spruce bracing to tame any wild feedback and add structural support. The comfortable heft of the body is matched by a smooth, comfy Mahogany neck with a ‘50s-style rounded ‘C’ profile and a slick Rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets. The frets have been perfectly balanced by the Plek Pro process - a high-end feature usually reserved for top-dollar custom guitars. The process levels each fret with pinpoint precision to ensure the best overall action possible for the best sound and feel you can get.

This ES-339 derives its distinctive, vintage character from a pair of Gibson’s powerful ‘57 Classic humbucking pickups. These pickups are a brilliant recreation of the PAF pickups used in the early Gibson guitars that helped to create the iconic and instantly-recognised Gibson sound. Beyond this, the ‘57 Classics are also able to add some extra oomph to your sound; the bridge-positioned pickup is a Classic+ that utilises overwound coils to add extra bite when you need it. These pickups also benefit from the addition of hand-wired tone circuits for the best possible signal. 

This is a brilliant vintage-style guitar that will sit comfortably in the hands of players of any standard. You won't be disappointed.
