LIMITED RUN 2013 GIBSON ES-339 STUDIO MEMPHIS CUSTOM BLACK SEMI HOLLOW GUITAR
JUST HAD A FULL SET-UP INC NEW STRINGS!
This is a really cool little gibson short run hollow body. It’s in great condition, the frets are in amazing shape and the neck is nice and straight. The pickups and electronics work perfectly and the Gibson dirty fingers humbucker sounds incredible. Cosmetically the guitar is in great shape too. There are only a few small surface scratches to the finish (see pics) but these are tiny. The guitar comes with the original Gibson soft case.
Here's some specs on the guitar:
ES-339 Studio
Gibson's ES-339 has long been popular with
players seeking the legendary feel and tone of the seminal ES-335
"semi-acoustic" electric, but in more compact proportions. Now Gibson
Memphis bring a hot-rodded, ready-to-rock rendition to the table in the form of
the new ES-339 Studio. Stripped of everything but the essentials for bone-crunching
rock tone and primed for the utmost performance power, the ES-335 Studio is
ready to create its own new legends in the world of the "semi."
The ES-339 has the same iconic thinline,
double-cutaway body styling that's instantly familiar from Gibson guitars seen
in the hands of Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Alvin Lee and countless others, but
its proportions have been reduced to a more manageable package. What's more,
the f-holes have been eliminated to create a sleek-looking top that is also
more resistant to feedback. The guitar's electronics have been pared down to a
single, super-hot Dirty Fingers Plus humbucking pickup in the bridge position,
along with a single volume and tone pot.
The no-nonsense ethos continues in the ES-339
Studio's looks—with minimal adornments, no body or fingerboard binding, no
pickguard, and your choice of Ebony Black or Midnight Blue in smooth-satin
nitrocellulose lacquer. Black-chrome hardware, a black Corian™ nut, and
tortoiseshell truss-rod cover and neck-joint cover complete the picture.
Playing is believing: check it out now at your authorized Gibson Memphis
dealer.
Body and Neck
The ES-339 Studio is a more compact rendition
of the original 335s of the late 1950s, with a semi-hollow body made from
laminated maple and a solid maple center block, but without the traditional
f-holes. The result is a blend of the traditional archtop's looks and sonic
depth, and the solidbody's improved playing comfort, sustain, and resistance to
feedback. The neck is made from solid maple, and topped with an unbound
fingerboard made from baked maple, inlaid with simple pearloid dot position
markers.
Pickups and Electronics
To make this a "semi" that was born
to rock, the ES-339 Studio is equipped with a single Dirty Fingers Plus
humbucker, one of Gibson's hottest pickups. For unbridled crunch and wailing
lead tones, all with singing sustain, this pickup was designed for pure rock
fury, yet it boasts surprising clarity for mellower moments. A single volume
and tone control with ergonomic positioning keep it simple.
Hardware and Plastics
The ES-339 Studio carries a Tune-o-matic
bridge and stopbar tailpiece, and high-quality Grover™ Rotomatic® tuners, all
in black chrome. There's no pickguard, but a tortoiseshell truss-rod cover and
neck-joint cover lend an alternative touch of class. The controls carry black
Top-Hat knobs.
