Bernie69 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hi small bodies addicts has any of you tried the new ES339 2015 line ??? it seems that in the past there was one model and now three !!! (the drawback is that for the previous standard model price you can now only get "stripped down" models) The high end one seems promising on the specs: Burstbuckers amazing finishes new neck profile and new internal electronic hardware low frets etc etc etc many improvements that need trying. May be they will appear soon in the US stores ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serge2antonio Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi Bernie, I saw the new models for 2015 yesterday and I thought they were cool. I used to own a Custom Shop 339 sunburst. The finish was great. I traded it for a guitar that I wasn't happy about and then sold that. So this year I bought a 2014 Black Satin 339 from Wildwood. I am so happy with it! The finish is "not as fancy" but I love how the Satin starts morphing as the guitar contacts with your body (a lot of playing, I clean it after every time I play). After a good setup I am so happy with it. I hope for 2015 they improve the setup "out of the box". I used to have so much intonation problems with the first one I had, but since then, I've learned a new method to put my strings that is working out perfectly. Also, I used to use 0.12's, now I use 0.11s. I see that they decided to go with Grover Tunners, thats all cool. Never tried the burst buckers. I don't know how I feel about the F inlay on the plastic truss rod cover. Can't wait to try them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
