Description
Smaller-bodied ES-339 range takes on stripped-down studio styling, with two great humbuckers, simplified controls, and traditional-C profile playing feel at an unbeatable price.
- F-Hole emblem engraved truss rod cover: The iconic symbol of the Gibson ES line is now the hallmark of Gibson Memphis
- Redesigned neck dimensions: Added thickness to Peghead transition provides greater strength and stability
- Historic truss rod: Superior Adjustability due to the Teflon coating, larger diameter rod, original brass anchor and larger washer
- Rolled neck binding: Binding is rounded off to comfortably fit the contours of the player’s hand
- Low profile frets: Lower fret height provides smooth playability and accurate intonation
- New finish colors: New variations on your favorite vintage color schemes as well as all new, eye catching colors
- Locking stop bar tailpiece: Solid connection from the stop bar to the body of the guitar increases resonance and sustain all while making string changes simpler
