This is the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-339 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Cherry from Epiphone, now available in the Guitar category on Guitars Pedals Amps and Stuff.. Read More below.

Description

Joining Epiphone's newly-conceived 'Inspired by Gibson' collection is the much adored ES-339. This stunning electric guitar provides the luscious look and versatile voice of the legendary ES-335, but follows more compact proportions for added playing practicality. Known for its ability to transcend multiple genres, the ES-339 is now available at a price-point that most musicians can afford.

Maintaining the signature semi-hollow body construction and powerful dual-humbucker formula that almost all Gibson ES guitars are known for, the Epiphone ES-339 promises a spellbinding sound with superb playability to boot!

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.

Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain.

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitars

Semi-hollow electric guitars combine elements of solid and hollow body designs, offering warmth and resonance alongside improved sustain and feedback control. Typically built with a centre block running through the body, they deliver an open, airy character while remaining stable at higher volumes. This balance makes them well suited to a wide range of styles, from jazz and blues to indie, rock, and alternative music. Semi-hollow guitars respond well to dynamics and touch, providing a versatile, expressive option for players who want depth without sacrificing control.
