Gibson ES-339 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Trans Ebony w/Hard Case
The Gibson ES-339 in Trans Ebony delivers the iconic tone and aesthetics of the ES-335 in a more manageable form factor. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Gibson ES-339 quickly carved a niche for itself as a player-friendly alternative to the larger ES-335. While retaining the core sonic character and visual appeal of its predecessor, the ES-339 boasts a reduced body size, with the same heart as its larger contemporary.Â
The ES-339 features a lightweight, semi-hollow body with a top, back, and sides consisting of a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple combination. A single-ply cream binding surrounds the body’s perimeter. Attached to the body is comfortable mahogany neck with a rounded “C” profile. This universally loved neck shape delivers a familiar feel for a wide range of players and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard featuring twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets, and acrylic dot inlays. The Graph Tech nut measures at 1.695″, and the guitar offers a total scale length of 24.75″.Â
The ES-339 delivers a versatile spectrum of tones, courtesy of its Gibson USA ’57 Classic and ’57 Classic + humbuckers. These pickups are designed by Gibson to capture the essence of their PAF humbuckers while offering a more modern touch of added clarity and bite. The pickups boast a control scheme of two independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with a three-way toggle switch.
The stunning Trans Ebony gloss finish is the centerpiece of the ES-339’s visual allure: this finish offers a unique depth, showcasing variations in the wood grain beneath a near-black color, noticeable only when looking closely. With its nickel hardware to contrast, including an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, this guitar pops visually in a sleek, refined way.Â
This Gibson ES-339 comes complete with a hard case.Â
