Gibson ES-339

AllmanJoy77 · 12-20-2008, 11:49 PM

Any one here play one? I really want to buy one and as soon as my local guitar joint gets them in i think im going to... so any one have any good input on this guitar? I want to use it for standard and slide playing, hoping to get a nice bluesy tone out of it.

If anyone has one could you post some pictures? I love to see as many as i can

Awesome guitar. It quickly became my number one. You'll hear quite a few others say the same thing. Bottom line, you can't beat a Gibson Custom Shop guitar for under 2 grand.

My god!!! She is beautiful!! Im torn between the sunburst and the antique red though. Its great because it is so versitile, am i right?

I play in a cover band that does everything from the Beatles to Styx to the Foo Fighters and the 339 does it all.

My dream guitar is the ES-359 vintage sunburst, the 339's expensive sibling.

You know, they now make the 339 with a figured top...

Wildwood Guitars | Gibson Custom | ES-339 Figured #CS85763 Vintage Sunburst

Ya, the figuered ones are real nice, thats actually the only 339 ive played but the finish just didnt do it for me.

But... Im debating now if I want to buy the 339 or something like a Les Paul Classic in possibly a honeyburst. The reason being for this is that i think i may want to over time "vintagize" it with P.A.F. clone pickups that are worn and some aged hardware.

What do you guys think i should do???
