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 Angkor Music  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.

Gibson's secret weapon 339 awaits fame by associat

By: on 9 January 2026
Having owned a 70's es 335 I always said imagine if Gibson made one with a narrower body but still wider (and lighter!) than a Les Paul. Years later they did. The ES 339 is an extremely versatile semi hollow. Great sustain, feel and tones at fingertips for Blues, Rock, Jazz, Funk and Country. It drives Fender valve amps and is comfy to sit in lounge chair and practise. I had 2 x epi 339s before graduating to the Memphis Gibson ES 339 its awesome no dead notes, no fret buzz, frets and action perfect and tuneomatic bridge takes care of intonation. I like the lead input on the side ala LP. The only missing link is a big name player working the audience with a 339, I bet there is a woman out there that will be the first and hell watch the demand meter go off the dial.
