Gibson ES-339, Trans Ebony

Full Description

Beautiful vintage tone

Bursting with character. The MHS II pickups loaded into this Gibson bear all the hallmarks of real vintage humbuckers, with added articulation and clarity. Warm, deep, and rich, but with enough balance to make all styles sound spectacular, they'll lift your riffs up and give them a distinctive, crunchy voicing. The bridge pickup offers a touch more brightness, so you'll be able to really emphasise your pick attack and give each lick plenty of punch. And the neck is smooth and creamy, giving lead lines a dense, saturated feeling and chords a deeper, darker sound. All in all, this duo is guaranteed to bring immense sonic happiness to your ears.

Perfect playing

Lusciously smooth. The quarter sawn mahogany neck is a real pleasure to play. You'll find it incredibly easy to navigate, with the rounded 'C' shape offering total comfort to your hand. Every chord will feel easy to reach, and every lead line will feel fluid and free. On top of this, the mahogany creates a warm resonance which beefs each note up and helps it reach its full sonic potential. It'll get you excited about playing guitar.

Rosewood luxury

Dark and defined. The rosewood fretboard on the ES-339 is a sight to behold. It truly makes an impression on the eye – but it's not all about looks. This sleek, refined piece of wood has been expertly crafted to bring you the purest playing experience. Your fingers will dance along its surface, whilst your notes will ring with sustain and warmth. All your riffs are sure to shine on this powerful fretboard.

Prepare for the stage

Prepare for the stage

It's bulletproof. It may have a flashy design, but there' also plenty of substance underneath the Gibson ES-339. A Tune-o-Matic bridge helps to keep your tuning rock steady, so you can always sound your best. And world class Grover 'Milk Bottle' Rotomatic tuners help to make tuning changes quick and easy, as well as helping to keep your instrument in tune and singing away. This is a guitar which is more than ready for the stage or the studio – it's destined for greatness.
