CaptainNemo68 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Check out my new ES-339 Trad Pro! It is a semi-hollow body with no F holes. It has some nice features including: '57 classic in the neck position, super '57 in the bridge position; coil taps; and a 10db volume booster. Even though the finish looks sort of like tri-burst, it is actually vintage burst. This guitar sounds slightly tamer and sweeter in general than a Les Paul with '57 classics. Gibson told me the super '57 is basically similar to the '57 classic plus pickup. It also has the 30/60 neck profile and rosewood fret board.

La Musica Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Tasty. How does it play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainNemo68 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 Tasty. How does it play? It is very smooth. Frets are not too high. Lightweight guitar - only 7 pounds. I plan on putting thicker strings on it, probably 11's. It was made at the Memphis facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA, just picked one up to play through my Mesa 5:25 Express Plus! Traded a LP Studio I had not bonded with. Was expecting the $1999 price as listed online but they had on clearance at $1399!! Have a '78 ES347 that is heavy and worth a lot more than I like to take out and gig with. It has the coil tap switch. Like the 57's more than the 490 series in the studio, LOTS more. Coil tap gives it great flexibility and the boost comes in handy when playing clean. Like the neck better too fits realy nice. First rehearsal with it tonight!
