Epiphone ES-339 Cherry w/bag

The Epiphone ES-339 in Cherry brings the classic semi-hollowbody character of the ES-335 into a smaller, more comfortable instrument. Part of Epiphone's Inspired by Gibson Collection, the ES-339 features a five-ply maple/poplar body, solid maple center block, set mahogany neck, and dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. Its compact proportions are closer to those of a Les Paul, making it an excellent choice for players who want the resonance and tonal versatility of a traditional semi-hollow guitar without the larger body size. The gloss Cherry finish, nickel hardware, and vintage-inspired appointments complete its classic appearance.

The ES-339's five-ply maple/poplar body features traditional f-holes and a solid maple center block, combining the airy resonance of a semi-hollowbody with the sustain and feedback resistance of a solidbody guitar. The center block helps control unwanted feedback at higher volumes, making the instrument suitable for everything from clean jazz and blues to overdriven rock. Single-ply binding outlines the top and back, while the Cherry finish emphasizes the familiar double-cutaway silhouette. The smaller body provides a comfortable playing experience, particularly for musicians who find a full-size ES-335 cumbersome.

The glued-in mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded C profile, offering a balanced feel that is neither excessively slim nor overly substantial. Its rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and pearloid dot inlays inspired by vintage dot-neck ES-335 models. The 24.75" scale length provides familiar string tension and comfortable playability for both rhythm and lead work. A single-ply-bound fingerboard adds a traditional finishing detail, while the Kalamazoo-style headstock features mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and Gibson crown inlays.

A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers provides the warm, articulate response associated with traditional ES-style electric guitars. The neck pickup delivers rounded clean tones and smooth lead sounds, while the bridge pickup offers a more focused attack for blues, country, and rock. Individual volume and tone controls for each pickup allow precise adjustments to the instrument's output and tonal balance, with CTS potentiometers providing smooth, consistent operation. A three-way toggle switch offers the familiar neck, bridge, and combined pickup selections.

The hardware includes a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, providing dependable intonation adjustment and a secure string connection. The manufacturer describes Grover Rotomatic tuning machines paired with a Graph Tech nut for reliable tuning performance. Nickel pickup covers, black top hat knobs with silver inserts, and black plastic appointments complement the Cherry finish. With its compact body, versatile humbuckers, and traditional semi-hollow construction, the Epiphone ES-339 Cherry is a practical choice for players seeking classic ES tone in a more manageable instrument. A premium gig bag is included for storage and transportation.
