The Epiphone ES-339 is a modern classic that offers players the look and feel of the ES-335, but in a smaller and lighter package. It is part of the “Inspired by Gibson” range, providing the look, feel, and tone of the USA-made original at a more affordable price. The guitar is equipped with a pair of Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, which deliver smooth and creamy vintage sounds with a defined top-end, making it perfect for jazz, blues, and rock n roll. The C-shaped neck is hand-rolled and provides a sublime feel for fast leads and smooth chord transitions. The guitar also features top-class hardware, including a NuBone nut, Deluxe tuners, and Epiphone exclusive LockTone bridge and tailpiece.
In terms of tone, each of the Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers is capable of producing beautiful sounds. The bridge pickup offers a tight and powerful tone with high output and sharp crunch. It combines the characteristics of a 50s pickup with modern tone and definition. The neck humbucker, on the other hand, produces a warmer sound that is both fat and clear. It is ideal for bringing out the full potential of lead licks and providing a saturated voicing. With these dynamic pickups, the guitar can handle any genre you choose.
The playability of the ES-339 is exceptional. The mahogany neck has a rounded C profile, which offers ultimate comfort and maneuverability. It also provides a warm tone that adds smoothness and richness to your notes, making it suitable for any style of music. The Indian laurel fretboard is also incredibly playable, with decent note sustain and a sleek feel. This allows for easy improvisation in your own style.
Reliability is a key aspect of this guitar. It is equipped with high-quality hardware from head to toe. The Graph Tech NuBone nut ensures solid intonation, and the Epiphone LockTone TOM bridge combined with Grover Rotomatic tuners guarantee tuning stability for years to come. The guitar delivers a stellar performance every time you play.
The specifications of the ES-339 include a layered maple body, mahogany neck, Indian laurel fingerboard, and a C rounded profile. The scale length is 24.724 inches, and it has 22 frets. The hardware and electronics consist of an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge, Epiphone LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, Graph Tech NuBone nut, Grover Rotomatic tuners, and Alnico Classic PRO pickups. The controls include 2 volume and 2 tone knobs with CTS potentiometers. The strings are .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, and .046.
