serge2antonio Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The listing on Amazon is for ES 339 with a satin finish. It looks like the same thing as they have at Zzounds: http://www.zzounds.com/item--GIBES33914 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serge2antonio Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks, I found one at Wildwood guitars. Has anyone worked with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windmills Optional Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I've dealt with Wildwood several times and have had nothing but great experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2112 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Wildwood will do a good job and take care of you. The 339 should be an awesome guitar. If you get it make sure you come back and post some pics of it so we can enjoy it too! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
