MichaelDH Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Wondered if anyone has one, or tried one out yet, I'm heading to Sweetwater in a few days and I've really been thinking about another Memphis model. 2018 ES 339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Nice looking 339. I don't think it matters too much what model year (2018 vs others), as I believe the construction and the materials have been the same for quite awhile. While you are there do yourself a favor and try a 336 as well. The 336 has mahogany back, sides, and center block all carved from one piece of wood with a carved maple top and thus it's tone is more akin to a Les Paul. The 339 with it's maple/poplar/maple material will be more like a 335. They are both about the same size, but quite different tones. You can't go wrong with either one, just a matter of personal taste. Happy hunting [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDH Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks, I’ll definitely look into the 336 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottDownSouth Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 The walnut colored one looks great, let us know how you go with it. Cheers, Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDH Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Very happy so far with the decision to get this one. Great feel, fit and finish, the color is almost a teal depending on the lighting. Very nice warm tones but can give a pretty good snap when you want it.

kaicho8888 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Excellent and congrats! I first saw that same finish in 2000 on a factory tour in Memphis. It was eye catching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveT2 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Very happy so far with the decision to get this one. Great feel, fit and finish, the color is almost a teal depending on the lighting. Very nice warm tones but can give a pretty good snap when you want it. Great looking guitar. I just got a 339 Studio. I really did want to step up a notch or two but going this route saved me enough cash to get a new head for my new Peavey 112 cab with the Celestion V 30. I'm good with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 That is a sweet color!!! I like the colors that seem to change with the lighting as you described. I have a 339 black satin. Has 57 classics in it. I love the guitar, I prefer over my Les Paul Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
