Gibson Custom ES339 SemiHollow Electric Guitar with 30/60

The ES-339 is the next generation from the Custom Shop of Gibson’s iconic ES electric guitars. It goes where no guitar has gone before with a bold, new semi-hollow tone that is rich with expressive, even stinging, overtones. The ES-339 has some exciting enhancements including Memphis Tone electronics, the 30/60 slender neck profile, and reduced dimensions and weight.Memphis Tone electronics Memphis Tone circuitry utilizes 500K audio taper pots that operate with an interactive load that preserves high end as you turn down the volume. The loading effect preserves the full-bodied tone with rich midrange and singing sustain from the ‘57 Classic humbuckers while adding a very sweet bite. Another difference is the volume is very smooth, rolling off in even increments along with the numbers on the knobs. Since they operate more like how we hear (logarithmically), the controls work the way the player thinks they should. So when the guitarist turns down the volume the highs are still there!30/60 Neck Developed in assistance from guitar guru Jon Schwartz. The 30/60 slender neck is a ’60s style neck with an extra .030 front-to-back to preserve the semi-hollowbody tone, sustain, and feel while providing smooth playability (The rounded ‘59 neck profile is also available on the ES-339 ‘59 Neck – product #515255).Reduced dimensions and weight The ES-339 builds on the success of the semi-hollowbody guitars first introduced by Gibson in 1958 with the ES-335. Lighter and more compact than a traditional semi-hollow guitar, the ES-339 retains the distinct semi-hollowbody electric tone that powered so many hit records and landmark performances.

No more cable crossing the body, spoiling the guitar’s clean looks and and getting in your way.
