Where to get a Gibson 339.

Hello Forum!

 

I am very confused regarding this guitar:

 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JZK69YM/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p267_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1SGXCG9X5N3VE7S1CBBX&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846

 

Is it a costum shop? Is there a difference between Costum Shop 339 made in Memphis or just a Memphis 339? This is clearly not a Studio.

 

I want to buy a new 339 for this price but I am scared that I'll get the wrong item through amazon. I've seen this item listed in a numerous other sites with the identical same picture.

 

Can someone help? I am trying to get a Gibson 339 for this price, which is the best way to go? Also, has anyone got a guitar with this finish?

 

Thanks for all your advice,

 

Antonio

The listing on Amazon is for ES 339 with a satin finish. It looks like the same thing as they have at Zzounds:

It looks like it has the same appointments - like a "Dot" level guitar - as a regular 339 but with a satin finish. It's not a studio. "Memphis made" is the same thing as "Memphis Custom Shop," where they make the regular 339's. I think the Memphis factory used to be called the Memphis Custom Shop and now they call it the Memphis Shop. This is not the "Custom Shop" where they make the "real" custom guitars. That's in Nashville. Other people on here know more about the distinction between the factories than I do.
