Product Description

The Soul of a 335, in a Player-Friendly Package

Ever love the sound of a classic semi-hollow but wished it was just a bit more comfortable? Gibson heard you. The ES-339 is the answer, delivering all the airy resonance and warm, woody tone of its legendary bigger brother in a streamlined body that feels right at home. This isn’t a student model; it’s a professional workhorse that combines vintage Gibson soul with modern ergonomics.

Vintage Voice: ’57 Classic Humbuckers

The heart of this guitar’s tone comes from a perfectly calibrated set of Gibson ’57 Classic pickups. The neck position is loaded with a ’57 Classic, known for its smooth, creamy, and articulate voice that’s perfect for soulful leads or warm jazz chords. In the bridge, a ’57 Classic Plus is slightly overwound for more bite, grit, and punch, driving your amp with that legendary PAF-style growl. From glassy cleans to gritty blues, this setup is pure Gibson gold.

Effortless Playability

The magic of the ES-339 lies in its feel. The 3-ply maple/poplar body is lighter and more manageable than a traditional ES-335, making it perfect for long gigs and dynamic stage performance. The Mahogany neck is carved into a comfortable Rounded ‘C’ profile that feels substantial and familiar, while the hand-rolled Rosewood fingerboard edges provide a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the case.

Built to Perform

Gibson equipped the ES-339 with rock-solid hardware to ensure it’s ready for the stage and studio. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece anchor the strings for maximum resonance and sustain. Up top, Grover Rotomatic tuners keep your tuning stable through the heaviest playing. It’s all finished in a gorgeous gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that will only get better with age.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Great question. While it retains that classic semi-hollow warmth and airiness, the smaller body tightens up the low-end just a touch and adds a bit more focus to the midrange. You get all the character you love, just in a slightly more articulate and feedback-resistant package.

The Rounded ‘C’ is one of Gibson’s most popular profiles for a reason. It’s a happy medium that feels great for both chord work and single-note runs. It’s substantial enough to give you something to grab onto for big bends, but not so large that it gets in the way of faster playing. It’s a fantastic all-around neck shape.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
