Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

This sleek nickel-finished Gibson ES-339 Memphis masterfully distills the timeless semi-hollow vibe and legendary versatility of a 335 into a tighter, more compact body style. Featuring a layered maple top and back braced with quartersawn spruce and anchored by a solid maple centerblock, this remarkably light seven-pound one-ounce guitar effortlessly suppresses unwanted feedback while preserving a woody, acoustic-like bloom. The smooth rosewood fingerboard and 22 cleanly dressed frets provide a fluid, lightning-fast canvas for everything from smoky jazz lines to searing rock leads. Driven by a classic dual-humbucker pickup configuration with independent volume and tone controls, it serves up a massive spectrum of thick, punchy midrange and articulate top-end clarity. From the traditional ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar to the vintage-style Gibson Deluxe tuners, this exceptionally balanced instrument offers a truly focused and energetic performing experience. Complete with its original hardshell case, this Memphis-built beauty is ready to breathe new inspiration into your sonic setup.
