Epiphone ES-339 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Cherry

Designed for players seeking classic semi-hollow tone in a more comfortable size, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-339 electric guitar delivers vintage character with modern reliability. Built with a layered maple body and maple centerblock, this semi-hollowbody guitar offers warmth, sustain and feedback resistance suited for stage and studio use. A rounded "C"-shaped mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard provide a familiar feel, while Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers deliver the versatile ES-style tones players have relied on for decades. Premium hardware—including Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech NuBone nut and LockTone bridge and tailpiece—enhances tuning stability and sustain for consistent performance.

Classic Semi-Hollow Construction With Compact Comfort

The ES-339 combines traditional semi-hollow construction with a smaller, lighter body design that improves comfort without sacrificing tone. Its layered maple top, back and sides surround a maple centerblock that helps control feedback while preserving resonance and sustain. This construction produces warm lows, articulate mids and smooth highs suited for a wide range of playing styles. Players moving between rehearsals, live gigs and recording sessions will appreciate the reduced weight and balanced feel. The gloss finish and cream binding complete the vintage-inspired design while maintaining the performance-focused build expected from the Inspired by Gibson series.

Alnico Classic PRO Pickups Deliver Versatile ES Tone

Equipped with Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, the ES-339 delivers a broad tonal palette suited for blues, rock, jazz and beyond. These pickups produce clear articulation with warm low end and smooth high-frequency response. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, paired with a three-way selector switch, allow players to fine-tune their sound for rhythm or lead work. Whether dialing in clean, expressive tones or pushing an amp into overdrive, this pickup configuration offers the dynamic response expected from a classic ES-style guitar.

Stable Hardware Enhances Sustain And Tuning

The ES-339 features hardware designed for dependable performance and consistent tuning stability. A Graph Tech NuBone nut helps reduce friction and improve tuning accuracy, while Grover Rotomatic tuners provide smooth, reliable adjustments. Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece improve sustain and maintain precise intonation. Together, these components create a stable platform that holds tuning during long rehearsals and performances. Players can focus on their playing without worrying about frequent adjustments.

Comfortable Neck Designed For Smooth Playability

The rounded C-shaped mahogany neck provides a familiar feel suited for a wide range of playing styles. Combined with a 24.72" scale length and medium jumbo frets, the ES-339 supports comfortable chord work and expressive lead playing. The laurel fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface, while pearloid dot inlays maintain a clean, classic look. This combination makes the ES-339 approachable for players transitioning from solidbody guitars while retaining the tonal benefits of semi-hollow construction.

Inspired By Gibson Design With Vintage Appeal

From its '60s-style Kalamazoo headstock to its gloss finish options, the ES-339 reflects classic Gibson-inspired aesthetics. Layered maple construction, cream binding and nickel hardware reinforce the vintage character, while modern components ensure dependable performance. Optional hardshell or EpiLite cases are available separately for added protection. Designed for players who want classic semi-hollow tone in a compact format, the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-339 electric guitar blends heritage styling with reliable performance.
