Essential Information About the ES-339 Figured Blueberry Burst MC Guitar
- Compact "semi-hollow" ES-339 style body: the comfort of a solidbody, the warmth of a hollowbody.
- Figured maple top with a striking Blueberry Burst finish for a premium aesthetic.
- Two Gibson USA humbuckers for a versatile tonal palette, from jazz to rock.
- Easy access to the upper frets and ergonomics designed for both stage and studio.
A reduced-size ES that carries on Gibson's DNA
Inspired by the legendary ES-335, the ES-339 adopts its architecture with a maple center block for feedback control, but in a more compact size. It balances "hollow" projection and "solid" precision, dressed in a Blueberry Burst finish that highlights the figured maple grain.
For whom and which styles?
Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, the ES-339 shines in blues, rock, pop, soul, and jazz. Its playability makes it an excellent "one guitar" choice for versatile musicians, while remaining expressive enough for semi-hollow tone purists.
The sound
The maple body (figured top, back, and sides) with a center block delivers attack, sustain, and solid low-mid response, while controlling feedback at high volumes. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard soften the highs and add warmth. The Gibson USA humbuckers provide a singing tone: clear, full, and defined cleans, creamy crunch, tight and musical saturation. Traditional electronics (3-way selector, independent volume and tone controls) allow full dynamic expression of the instrument.
Recommended compatible accessories
- Nickel electric strings 10-46: a standard gauge that respects the feel and balance of an ES-339.
- Hard case for ES-339: protection tailored to the compact semi-hollow body.
- Quality strap with secure attachments and comfortable width for extended sets.
- Electric guitar capo (12" radius): even pressure without choking harmonics.
