The Gibson ES-339 Figured Sixties Cherry from the Gibson Modern Collection combines an extremely handy body in Electric Spanish semi-acoustic construction with elegant appointments that give the electric guitar the dignified look. Combined with the semi-hollow body made of maple laminate, the popular '57 Classic pickups provide first-class guitar sounds with a light and airy vintage character. With its mahogany neck in Rounded C profile, the ES-339 Figured also offers a high level of playing comfort. Last but not least, the classic hardware with Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar and Grover tuners completes the ES-339 Figured Semi-Hollow electric guitar by Gibson.
Classic Semi-Hollow with a small body.Thanks to the extremely manageable body format , the ES-339 Figured impresses with comfortable handling without sacrificing the lively and resonant semi-hollow sound. For the construction of the guitar, Gibson naturally uses a three-ply maple-poplar laminate , which provides a beautiful look through the top layer of figured maple . The solid maple center block also reliably prevents feedback at high volumes. For high playability, the set mahogany neck features a pleasantly full Rounded C profile.
At the guitar amp, Gibson's ES-339 Figured Sixties Cherry impresses with a pleasant vintage character that skillfully captures the characterful timbre of the Electric Spanish design. Responsible for this are the popular Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers , which are authentic PAF replicas with Alnico II magnets and an airy sound. Here, the Plus version at the bridge with subtly increased output provides juicy overdrive sounds. A hand-wired circuit with Orange Drops for extra smooth treble roll-offs also grants full control over tone color.
Authentic hardwareLast but not least, the Gibson ES-339 Figured comes with the typical hardware that has proven itself since the Fifties. The tailpiece is a classic aluminum tailpiece , from which the strings are guided over an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with adjustable intonation and height. The headstock also features Grover Rotomatic tuners for precise and stable tuning of the ES-339 Figured.
