Full Description
View Full DescriptionCompact body, full ES tone
The ES-339 delivers the legendary semi-hollow sound in a smaller, more manageable form. Its three-ply maple and poplar construction, combined with a solid maple centre block, gives you the warmth and resonance associated with classic ES models while improving feedback resistance. This makes it ideal for louder stages or higher gain settings without sacrificing clarity. The reduced body size also enhances playing comfort, especially for those who find larger semi-hollow guitars slightly unwieldy. It's a modern solution that retains vintage character while adapting to the needs of today's players.
Classic pickups with vintage character
Equipped with a '57 Classic in the neck and a '57 Classic Plus in the bridge, this guitar delivers authentic Gibson humbucker tone. Expect warm lows, clear mids, and smooth highs that respond beautifully to your playing dynamics. From beautifully clean clean jazz chords to warm blues leads and even driven rock riffs, these pickups offer excellent articulation and balance. Paired with a hand-wired control circuit, you get precise tonal shaping via two volume and two tone controls, allowing you to dial in everything from mellow warmth to biting edge.
Smooth and comfortable playability
The mahogany neck features a Rounded C profile that feels comfortable in the hand, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles. It's paired with a rosewood fretboard that provides a smooth surface for both chord work and lead playing. The 12-inch radius and medium jumbo frets make bending notes easy while maintaining accurate intonation across the neck. Acrylic dot inlays keep the look classic and understated, while the overall neck design ensures a familiar feel that players can quickly adapt to.
Reliable hardware for performance
Every component of the ES-339 is designed for dependable performance. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece provide excellent sustain and precise intonation, while Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure stable and accurate tuning. Nickel hardware adds durability and a classic aesthetic, complementing the guitar's finish. Supplied with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, it's ready for the road or studio use straight away. This attention to detail ensures the instrument performs consistently wherever you take it.
