BRUGT
The Gibson ES-339 is a modern classic designed for those seeking the tone and look of an ES-335, but desire a slightly smaller, lighter instrument. The pearloid dot inlay rosewood fingerboard on a hand-rolled Rounded “C” mahogany neck remind players where it all started.
The 57 / 57 Classic + humbuckers paired with our hand-wired tone circuit showcases the versatile Gibson ES tone that players have craved for over 60 years.
Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Grover Rotomatic tuners with Kidney buttons paired with light-weight Aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop bar tailpiece.
This guitar has had wiring and pots upgraded to a 50s wiring kit from Arty’s Guitars in Germany. The kit includes CTS 500K 3/8″ (9.52mm) Short Shaft pots, ARTY’s Bumblebee .022 uF and .015 uf Vintage Replica Capacitors, SWITCHCRAFT Toggle Switch and SWITCHCRAFT 1/4″ Mono Audio Jack.
It has also seen some gigs, and therefore has a fair bit of playwear, but no serious dings or other actual damage. Frets are 95% like new. Includes original case and COA, but no other case candy. Weight 3600g.
