An ES Designed for the Stage: Gibson DNA, More Accessible to Play

The ES-339 retains the fundamentals that made Gibson's ES models famous, but in a more compact, lighter body that is easier to handle. Its semi-hollow construction (laminated top, back, and sides) combined with a maple center block preserves the harmonic richness and openness typical of archtops, while gaining control when increasing volume or gain.

Who Is This ES-339 For, and In Which Styles Does It Excel?

This Gibson is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a high-end semi-hollow that is comfortable and reliable both in rehearsal and on stage. It shines in jazz, blues, and soul thanks to its singing mids, but remains formidable in rock, pop, and indie for its dynamic, precise response and very clean performance under moderate overdrive.

The Sound

The '57 Classic / '57 Classic Plus duo delivers a warm "PAF" tone: silky highs, dense mids, and defined lows, with extra bite on the bridge side for riffs and solos. The maple/poplar (laminated) construction adds clarity and attack, while the maple center block enhances sustain and helps control feedback. The 2 volume / 2 tone circuit, hand-wired with 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, maintains openness and allows for progressive, very musical control from clean to crunch.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The included hard case perfectly secures the guitar for daily use. To complete your setup, a classic strap (standard strap buttons) and a non-abrasive microfiber cloth are safe choices for comfort and maintenance of the Dark Purple Burst finish. A set of nickel electric strings will suit the instrument's versatile spirit.
