The Gibson ES-339 is loved by players who need semi-hollow tone but don't want a guitar with too much bulk. Built as a smaller version of the ES-335, the ES-339 has the same semi-hollow tone and sustain in a smaller package. Made with a 3-ply maple and poplar laminate body, this guitar showcases a bright and lively sound with a warm, rich sustain. A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar in your hand and enable quick soloing and chording. Powered by a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers, this guitar has all the PAF goodness you'd expect from a vintage Gibson, but with added clarity and bite. The ES-339 aims to capture the vintage tone and feel of the golden era Gibsons. To achieve this lofty goal, it's powered by a pair of Gibson's '57 Classic pickups. A re-creation of the classic Patent Applied For humbucker, the '57 Classic produces warm, velvety tones with rich harmonics. In the bridge position, the '57 Classic+ pickup utilizes overwound coils to add a little extra bite to the vintage tone. In addition to the pickups, the hand-wired tone circuit ensures that each pickup's tone is transmitted perfectly. If you like PAF pickups, you'll love the '57 Classics.
