Gibson ES-339 Custom Shop Review

Made exclusively in Custom Shop Gibson, The ES-339 guitar is a very current version of the ES-335 completely redesigned for the comfort of musicians. Its strength comes from its smaller size, rather respecting the template of Gibson Les Paul. A real asset that mainly targets younger fans of Les Paul or SG. This model thus affects a wider audience, including from the female who will find a more stylish and light guitar. The overall balance of the guitar is very nice for the grip. Particular attention has been paid to the resonance of the box. Yet smaller than the ES-335, the case resonates with precision, clarity and good volume. Acoustically the guitar already sounds very well.

So what does it do once connected? Gibson chose two '57 classic humbuckers to sound the whole. A choice well studied since the guitar is quite comfortable to interpret all the directories, of course blues, jazz, rock and hard rock and metal! And yes, the test of the ES-339 guitar has made the metal that this guitar makes almost the same level of a Lespaul or an SG. The gap is even lighter depending on the type of amplifier used. We used a Peavey Classic 30 amp tube and it could easily play all tracks of AC / DC. The promise of a versatile guitar is held by the Gibson Custom Shop. The sound is distinctive and varied depending on the position of the potentiometers. Even at low volume, the energy of microphones confirms that it is a quality model. The deposit of the Custom Shop is an additional guarantee of a choice of woods and a noble flawless manufacturing.
For the rest of the gear we find the solid mechanical butterflies, the bridge tune-o-matic ABR and Stop Bar usual brand Gibson, all of whom have proven themselves. The very fact that its price positioning makes it a must if we look for a versatile guitar upscale, very beautiful with her red dress stamped with the ancient legendary Gibson logo .
