Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-339 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Cherry

Classic ES semi-hollow character takes on a more compact form in the Epiphone ES-339, delivering the warmth, resonance and versatility players love about the ES-335 in a smaller, lighter double-cut design. Part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, the ES-339 retains the familiar five-ply maple/poplar construction and solid maple center block in a body with overall dimensions closer to a Les Paul. A set mahogany neck combines a comfortable Rounded C profile with a bound rosewood fingerboard, while dual Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers and premium CTS potentiometers provide a broad range of expressive tones. Grover Rotomatic tuners and LockTone hardware add dependable performance, complemented by classic binding, nickel hardware and an included premium gig bag. For players drawn to the ES-335 formula but looking for a more compact instrument, the ES-339 delivers familiar semi-hollow character in an easy-to-handle format.

Compact Semi-Hollow Body Delivers Classic ES Character

The ES-339 carries forward the defining center-block construction of the ES-335 in a smaller body with dimensions closer to a traditional solidbody guitar. Its five-ply maple/poplar body provides the warmth and resonance associated with semi-hollow construction, while a solid maple center block adds sustain and helps control unwanted feedback at amplified volumes. The reduced proportions create a compact, comfortable feel without abandoning the depth and responsiveness that make the ES platform so versatile. Single-ply binding outlines the top and back, giving the smaller double-cut body the clean, refined presentation associated with classic ES designs.

Rounded C Mahogany Neck Offers Comfortable, Familiar Playability

A glued-in mahogany neck carved to a Rounded C profile gives the ES-339 a balanced feel that is neither overly slim nor too substantial in the hand. Its 24.75" scale provides a slightly relaxed string response, while the bound rosewood fingerboard combines a 12" radius with 22 medium-jumbo frets for smooth chord work and expressive bends. Pearloid dot inlays recall the understated look of vintage dot-neck ES models, reinforcing the guitar's classic aesthetic without unnecessary ornamentation. A Graph Tech nut provides a consistent contact point for the strings and works with the tuning hardware to support dependable performance.

Alnico Classic PRO Humbuckers Deliver Warm, Versatile Tone

Dual Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers give the ES-339 a broad tonal palette that complements its resonant semi-hollow construction. The neck pickup offers warm, full-bodied sounds with plenty of detail, while the bridge pickup brings greater bite and definition for articulate rhythm work and expressive leads. A three-way toggle provides immediate access to either pickup or both together, with dedicated volume and tone controls for each pickup allowing precise adjustment and flexible blending in the middle position. Premium CTS potentiometers provide smooth, responsive control, giving players plenty of room to shape the ES-339's voice directly from the guitar.

Grover Tuners and LockTone Hardware Add Dependable Performance

Grover Rotomatic tuning machines provide smooth, precise adjustment at the Kalamazoo-style headstock, working alongside the Graph Tech nut to support stable tuning and straightforward string changes. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge offers individual saddle adjustment for accurate intonation, paired with a LockTone stopbar tailpiece for a secure string anchor and strong sustain. Nickel hardware and pickup covers complement the guitar's gloss finish, while mother-of-pearl Epiphone branding and a Gibson crown inlay add classic detail at the headstock. An included premium gig bag provides convenient protection for storage and transport.

Classic Semi-Hollow Character in a More Compact Package

The ES-339 takes the proven center-block formula of the ES-335 and reshapes it around players who prefer the feel and handling of a smaller instrument. Its reduced body dimensions bring the familiar ES experience closer to traditional solidbody proportions while retaining the resonance, sustain and tonal flexibility that define the semi-hollow design. As part of the Inspired by Gibson Collection, the Epiphone ES-339 stays true to that established formula with Alnico Classic PRO pickups, CTS electronics and familiar ES appointments. The result is a versatile semi-hollow that captures the character of its larger sibling in a compact format built for comfortable everyday playing.
