Gibson ES-339

Gibson ES-339What else can I say? this is slightly old news but OH MY GOD!!!!! This is a 335 sized down to a Les Paul size guitar. It sounds fantastic. It looks fantastic. When I first heard of the shrunken 335 I was concerned on how it would actually look. Gibson have done a fantastic job of keeping the 335's aesthetic intact while making it a more manageable size for people not accustomed to the extra girth of the 335.

It's the feature guitar over at Gibson right now, so head on over and check it out. Make sure to check out the video as well.

Being the baby 335, the 339 comes with the same hardware, dual-cutaway body, and body & neck material as the 335. The guitar is also available in Caramel Burst and Antique Red.

And seeing as today is my birthday, this guitar is my birthday wish.

NOTE: Apologies to Cary at EGR - I accidently left a full paragraph of his article on this guitar in my post. Totally a bad thing to do and completely unintentional. I have since removed the offending paragraph. I hope he doesn't hate me too much.

    Wouldn’t that be awesome. I see exactly where you are coming from there. I love the burst on the model above but you are right on the money.
