Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A small number of frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. The hardware was polished. No further work was required. 

Discover the unparalleled tone of this 2008 Gibson Custom Shop ES-339, a semi-hollowbody masterpiece that blends the legendary sound of a Gibson ES-335 with the comfortable feel of a Les Paul. Crafted with a solid maple center block and finished in a classic Sunburst, this instrument is a true investment. The mahogany neck with a '59 profile provides a big, beautiful feel, perfectly complemented by the sonic punch of two '57 Classic humbuckers. This guitar has been meticulously tended to by our master luthier, who gave this instrument a beautiful fret level and crown, ensuring it is a supremely playable and absolutely rock solid instrument. With its stunning aesthetics and phenomenal playability, this is a guitar that deserves to be played and cherished for a lifetime!
