GibsonES-339 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Translucent Ebony
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built in a reduced ES-body format, the right-handed ES-339 combines a three-ply maple/poplar/maple body and solid maple centerblock. The semi-hollow build is described as offering woody warmth and sustain while reducing unwanted feedback. A Rounded C mahogany neck, 12-inch rosewood fingerboard, and 22 medium-jumbo frets define the playing layout. Its neck ’57 Classic and bridge ’57 Classic Plus humbuckers feed independent volume and tone controls plus a three-way toggle.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stage or studio parts that need clean articulation through smoky overdrive.
- Players seeking a smaller, lighter alternative to the ES-335 body size.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for an ES-335-sized body rather than the ES-339’s reduced format.
