Epiphone ES-339 P90 PRO Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar Ebony

I've had my eye on this guitar for a while (the Pelham Blue finish is even better looking in real life), and finally bought it during a sale on Labor Day. I've been looking for a hollow body that would let me get great blues and has tones - this guitar with the P90 pickups is incredibly versatile. On the neck pickup with the tone rolled-off, it has a great jazz sound. There are quite a few settings that give a variety of blues sounds. On the bridge pickup, with everything maxed out with some overdrive, this guitar can scream - with really high gain overdrive, it produces clearer artificial harmonics better than any other guitar I own (including ones that cost a lot more). On the downsides, the tuners will probably need to be upgraded, as I've found this to slip out of tune a bit easier than other guitars. Also, the frets need to be polished, as you can feel some "scratchiness" when bending notes, and they just don't shine like they should on a brand new guitar. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase, and I'm glad I bought it - it does everything I was hoping it would.

This is a MUST get guitar for any musician! trust me, I'm trying to get one myself! now i don't have enough money yet to buy one so this review is based on how i feel while i picture myself playing this guitar. That being said, this guitar rocks, i imagine it feels good to the touch and i imagine it sounds AMAZING and if my stupid brother didn't need braces then i would've been able to buy one and could've told you for sure how great it is. And if you buy two of them or if guitar center accidentally sends you two of them please send it my way!

This was my 2nd guitar (1st Classic Vibe Strat) but already I love this thing. The tones are so nice and the guitar is very comfortable and easy to play. The Pelham Blue gets nothing but compliments.

This is the perfect size for studio and stage. Good P-90 tones. Great for Rock through Marshall Amp.

What a delightful surprise this guitar is. The quality of the finish is first-rate. There are no paint or binding issues. The neck is a lighter-colored wood that looks more like pao ferro than rosewood. The frets are level and even with no sharp edges or high spots. The nut is too high, but I will be replacing it with a Tusq that I will cut to my preferred height. I also had to lower the action, but this is so easy with the adjustable bridge. The truss rod did not need an adjustment. ALL guitars are shipped with high action. Even the pickups were set too high. All musicians should expect to set up their own guitars to their expectations. Now about the sound. First of all, there is absolutely no hum...zero. No matter how high the gain, it's hum free. I call that a P90 miracle. You can get any sound out of this guitar......Tele country twang, Gibson jazz box smoothness, gut-bucket blues, you name it. I've never been so impressed by any pickups. I've got, Alnico 2, 5, Gretsch Filtertrons, Fender Texas Specials, Vintage Noiseless, Probuckers, Burstbuckers, etc. on my guitars, but the sound of these P90s is totally unique. I would describe the tones as crystal clear and bell-like if you want to play clean, and capable of the slickest over-driven sounds you can dial in. I give this guitar my highest recommendation. For the money it's incredibile.

Love this guitar.
