Gibson ES-339 Semi Hollow Electric Guitar in Trans Ebony

The Gibson ES-339 is a semi-hollowbody electric guitar designed to offer the classic tone and aesthetic of the iconic ES-335 in a more compact and lightweight format. Its construction features a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple centre block, which provides enhanced feedback resistance while maintaining the resonant, airy character associated with semi-acoustic instruments. The set mahogany neck has a comfortable rounded 'C' profile with a 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard adorned with acrylic dot inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. Electronically, the ES-339 is equipped with a pair of Gibson's renowned humbucking pickups: a 57 Classic in the neck position and a slightly hotter 57 Classic+ at the bridge. These are controlled via a traditional layout of two volume and two tone knobs, plus a three-way toggle switch, offering a wide palette of sounds from warm, jazzy cleans to gritty blues and rock tones. The hardware includes a lightweight aluminium ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece for solid intonation and sustain, complemented by Grover Rotomatic tuners with kidney buttons for reliable tuning stability. This guitar is particularly well-suited for players who appreciate the versatile, woody tone of a semi-hollow design but prefer a instrument that's easier to handle during long sessions or performances. The Trans Ebony gloss nitrocellulose finish, cream binding, and black pickguard give it a timeless appearance. It arrives complete with a hard shell case and accessory kit, making it a ready-to-play professional instrument suitable for studio work, live gigging, or serious home practice.
