EPIPHONE ES339 – Pelham Blue Finish
Epiphone ES339 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Pelham Blue Finish
Timeless looks and incredible tone in a compact package from southcoastmusic.
This is the ES-339 from Epiphone with roots firmly planted in the classic era when Epiphone’s Kalamazoo factory was producing rock’s most legendary instruments.
Featuring a perfectly proportioned scaled down ES-style thinline body with Alnico Classic PRO™ humbucker pickups, this new ES-339 semi-hollowbody electric guitar from Epiphone turns back the clock while breaking new ground in sound and style.
Part of the “Inspired by Gibson” series, the Epiphone ES-339 is the guitar 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 while the pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers showcases the versatile Gibson ES™ tone that players have lusted after for over 60 years.
Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided for with the Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and Epiphone’s exclusive LockTone™ bridge and tailpiece – which also add more sustain to your tone. The impressive Cherry gloss finish adds a further touch of class.
Optional hardshell case or Gig Bag sold separately.
Epiphone ES339 – a legend in the making . . .
First introduced in the late ’50s, the ES series became an instant rock classic, bringing the feel and look of an archtop to a generation of players who had grown up playing solid body guitars like the Les Paul. The ES-335, the first in the ES series, was an instant success however, for many players who were used to smaller solid body guitars, the ES-335 was simply too bulky to play on stage.
The new ES-339 is the perfect answer, featuring beautifully proportioned smaller body dimensions while still retaining the bell-like tone the ES series is famous for.
