Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-339 - Cherry

Epiphone's "Inspired by Gibson" ES-339 is designed for those seeking the tone and look of an ES-335, but in a slightly smaller, lighter instrument. The hand-rolled C-shaped mahogany neck reminds players where it all started. A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers showcases the versatile Gibson ES™ tone that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, and Epiphone's exclusive LockTone™ bridge and tailpiece, which also add more sustain to your tone. Impressive gloss finishes include Cherry, Pelham Blue, Vintage Sunburst, and Natural. Optional hardshell case or EpiLite case sold separately.

Classic Construction

The ES-339's body is crafted from strong layered Maple, which is used to form its top, back and sides. Giving the instrument plenty of vibrancy, definition and acoustic-like volume, this is coupled with a solid Maple tone block that creates the amazing sustain and resonance that players crave from a genuine ES-339.

To add some mid-range warmth, the Epiphone ES-339's body is paired with a Mahogany neck; topped with an Indian Laurel fingerboard for a silky touch under the fingers. The neck adheres to a hand-rolled rounded "C" profile, which offers excellent comfort for traditionalists and contemporary players alike, while 22 medium jumbo frets ensure a controllable feel for vibrato and string bends.

Alnico Classic PRO Pickups

A double-dose of proprietary Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers give the Epiphone ES-339 a beautiful vintage tone. Thanks to their medium output, these pickups are highly-responsive to your picking dynamics and lend themselves particularly well to expressive playing styles. Although semi-hollow guitars are fairly synonymous with jazz, these humbuckers can sound raunchy and bold with overdrive - even distortion!

High-Quality Hardware

The Epiphone ES-339 may be a cost-effective alternative to the Gibson classic, but no shortcuts have been taken when it comes to its hardware appointments. Sporting Grover Rotomatic machine heads, a tone-enhancing Graph Tech NuBone nut and a LockTone bridge/tailpiece - you can expect rock-solid tuning stability and fast, stress-free string changes.
