Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-339, Pelham Blue Overview
Epiphone’s “Inspired by Gibson” ES-339 packs the distinctive looks and arresting sound of the ES-335 into a smaller, lighter form factor. Apart from the size, the ES-339 models boast the same impressive feature-set and quality construction of its larger sibling. Owning a stunning archtop, semi-hollow guitar that punches far above its weight is more attainable than ever.
With rock-solid tuning and intonation provided by the Graph Tech NuBone nut and high-quality Wilkinson Rotomatic tuners, a warm, juicy tone from the Alnico Classic Pro humbucking pickups, Epiphone’s innovative LockTone bridge and tailpiece and an eminently playable rounded C-shape neck - the “Inspired by Gibson” ES-339 feels and - most importantly - sounds like a premium instrument.
Boasting a beautifully resonant layered maple top/back/sides construction with a feedback busting, sustain boosting solid maple centre block - you know this ES-33 has quality exactly where it counts. This versatile guitar can deliver a legendary tone at a price that won’t break the bank.
The ES-339 comes in an assortment of classic finishes, including Cherry (the iconic ES colour), Natural (gorgeously understated), Pelham Blue (for the Dave Grohl fans) and Vintage Sunburst (for that old-school flavour).
