collapse expand iconDescription

The hugely popular compact ES-339 scores big with Burst Bucker pickups, Grover tuners, and full-scale traditional '335' looks and tone.

New for 2015
F-hole emblem engraved truss rod cover: The iconic symbol of the Gibson ES line is now the hallmark of Gibson Memphis.
Grover Milk Bottle Rotomatic tuners: Retro style tuners with modern features and 18:1 ratio for improved tuning accuracy.
Redesigned neck dimensions: Added thickness to Peghead transition provides greater strength and stability.
Historic truss rod: Superior adjustability due to the Teflon coating, larger diameter rod, original brass anchor and larger washer.
Bone nut: Bone for smooth tuning and excellent durability.
Rolled neck binding: Binding is rounded off to comfortably fit the contours of the player's hand.
Block inlay fretboard: Block fingerboard inlays are synonymous with the 1960's ES-335.
Low profile frets: Lower fret height provides smooth playability and accurate intonation.
New finish colors: New variations on your favorite vintage color schemes as well as all new, eye catching colors.
Burstbucker 1 & 2 pickups: Pickups are calibrated for each position for balanced output & brighter sound (closer to original PAF's)
Capacitor changes: Less treble cut than previous capacitor results in a tone with a harmonically rich, singing quality.
Locking stop bar tailpiece: Solid connection from the stop bar to the body of the guitar increases resonance and sustain all while making string changes simpler.
