Paying Homage to the Classic Semi-hollowbody Guitars

The Gibson ES-339 is loved by players who need semi-hollow tone but don't want a guitar with too much bulk. Built as a smaller version of the ES-335, the ES-339 has the same semi-hollow tone and sustain in a smaller package. Made with a 3-ply maple and poplar laminate body, this guitar showcases a bright and lively sound with a warm, rich sustain. A mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar in your hand and enable quick soloing and chording. Powered by a pair of '57 Classic humbuckers, this guitar has all the PAF goodness you'd expect from a vintage Gibson, but with added clarity and bite. So what are you waiting for? Check out the Gibson ES-339 at Sweetwater today.

'57 Classic pickups

The ES-339 aims to capture the vintage tone and feel of the golden era Gibsons. To achieve this lofty goal, it's powered by a pair of Gibson's '57 Classic pickups. A re-creation of the classic "Patent Applied For" humbucker, the '57 Classic produces warm, velvety tones with rich harmonics. In the bridge position, the '57 Classic+ pickup utilizes overwound coils to add a little extra bite to the vintage tone. In addition to the pickups, the hand-wired tone circuit ensures that each pickup's tone is transmitted perfectly. If you like PAF pickups, you'll love the '57 Classics.

Old-school neck profile

The ES-339's solid mahogany neck is reminiscent of the original neck profiles from the late ’50s and ’60s. The rounded "C" shape feels great in your hand the way only a vintage-styled guitar can. As you move up the neck, you'll appreciate the glassy rosewood fingerboard and plek'd frets. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Gibson lavished all of their incredible skill on the ES-339's neck and fingerboard. Once you play it, you'll feel the Gibson difference.

Hollowbody richness meets solidbody sustain

ES-339 was designed to have the same appeal of the ES-335 but with a smaller, more comfortable body shape. The result of this design choice makes the ES-339 an easy-to-play semi-hollow with amazing sustain. You'll enjoy the hollowbody warmth without annoying feedback, thanks to the solid maple center block. Any guitarist of any caliber can appreciate the sound of the ES-339, but guitarists that perform nightly will find it to be a dream come true for comfort and tone.

Gibson ES-339 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Big semi-hollowbody sound in a smaller size
  • Maple and poplar body produces bright, lively tone
  • Dual 57 Classic humbuckers deliver vintage Gibson tone
  • Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop tailpiece provide superior vibration transfer and a classic look
  • Rounded "C" neck plays easily, like the original ES guitars
  • Grover tuners provide notable tuning stability
  • Nickel hardware looks great against the finish

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Beautiful Guitar

For some years, the only guitar missing from my iconic Fender and Gibson Collection, was a Gibson Semi-hollow.
I had been holding off because of the high price. But then the other day I figured, you only live once, so I bit the bullet and bought it. It arrived intact, thanks to Sweetwater's awesome shipping department, making it impervious to the rough handling of Fed X.
This guitar is simply beautiful, plays and sounds like a dream. The setup right out of the box was perfect. Perfect intonation, neck relief was on the money, and the only thing I did was lower the string action, just a hair. The guitar feels light and comfortable, and the fretboard is very silky smooth. The 57 pickups sound very different than the Burstbucker 61's on my Les Paul Standard 60's. Not as biting, very warm and articulate.....exactly what I was hoping for. I play clean, no pedals, through a Twin Reverb. For right now, and maybe it's just the newness, but I'd say this is best sounding guitar I own. The price was high, but I feel like I got what I paid for. And now my collection is complete :)

Thank you to Chris Finton and the rest of the awesome Sweetwater Team. Sweetwater's customer service is simply outstanding.

Amazing quality!

I had a 339 Vintage Burst made in 2012 that I bought new in 2014 from a Gibson Dealer. I loved the guitar and planned on keeping it for life, but my guitar guy found a problem with the truss rod and suggested I send it in to Gibson for service. After checking it out, they determined that they wanted to send me a replacement. They no longer offer the vintage burst finish, so I was in love with the figured maple finish on the website, but it is an upgrade from my standard 339. After mulling it over a while, they decided to replace my Vintage burst with the Cherry Figured Maple guitar with the hand wired electronics. I was sad to lose my burst, but excited to get the upgrade. I have been in love with this guitar since I got it last April. It needed additional setup from the factory, but it has awesome low action, feels smooth as silk, has incredible tones, and the look and finish is amazing. Gibson has upped their game in every regard compared to the 2012 model I had before. I couldn't be happier with the guitar and the warranty service Gibson provided once the problem was identified!

Amazing Guitar

I just received this guitar as a gift. Ordered and setup from Sweetwater. The ES 339 has been my dream guitar and I have the Epiphone version which is a great guitar too, but this Gibson is one of the best guitars I have ever played. The fit and finish are top notch, and the sound is everything that I thought the Epiphone was lacking. The bridge pickup is bright and focused without being harsh and the neck pickup is full and fat without being mushy. The figured finish is absolutely beautiful. On top of that, Sweetwater did an amazing job on the setup.

Beautiful guitar.

This guitar plays and sounds great. Extremely well made. Domenic was very helpful and professional, and I am very pleased with this purchase. I have been dealing with Sweetwater for many years and will definitely continue.

From rockers to jazz cats, there are generations of guitarists right here at Sweetwater who swear by Gibson guitars. Not only do they make many of the most iconic solidbody electric guitars of all time - the Les Paul, the SG, the Flying V - but they also produce classic hollowbody and semi-hollowbody models and some of the most iconic acoustic guitars on the planet. We play them all! Our close relationship with Gibson often allows us to stock exclusive models and rare finds, and we're always happy to turn players and collectors on to the gems in the Sweetwater Guitar Gallery. We also have access to all the latest Gibson hardware, and the Sweetwater Guitar Repair Shop has upgraded countless guitars with their top-of-the-line humbuckers, classic P-90s, and more.
