Murph Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Not available till 02-27-09 on the vintage burst. Tells me they're sold out. But they'd like to sell you one. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Couldn't get the MF link (which I won't lose sleep over, never going to buy from them again) but the ES "microsite" still has the 339: http://www.gibson.com/_microsite/electricspanish/339.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 The link worked for me. If you clicked "options", then Vintage Burst, it said available 02-27-09. The clearance "bubble/star" thing looked like a marketing ploy. Best to ya. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarooster52 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Seeing as how there's a huge demand on Antique Red that they seem to have trouble filling, I don't think the model is going out of production or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckles Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I was concerned that clearance meant that they were discontinuing the model. "Once they are gone they are all gone" type of situation. i hope that is not the case. I did place an order back in December. Waiting in killing me.

MrMikeR Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I ordered an Antique Red 30/60 in October and I am happy to report I received notice today it is being shipped. I spoke to Musicians Friend earlier this week and they said 3 Reds were coming in end of January but they couldn't tell if one was headed to me. She also said a much larger lot is arriving late February which should help clear up the back order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Intersting, the GuitarCenter site has some colors expected in August 09. Glad I got mine in time to convince Murph to get one. Of course now everyone wants one. And at this price they should go and get one. Incidentally I got rid of the last thing that was nagging me about mine - I drop filled the lacquer over some deep scratch lines from where they scrape the neck binding. Couple of coats of McFadden's and it buffed out beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hey Bobv. Thanks. This is my favorite guitar ever, and I've sold some that are not in the sig. I am, however, on a mission to make MINE the first REAL relic. Not for "stupid", just because I play it so much. I gig a lot, off this weekend because of the ice storm, but mine usually works every weekend. Again, thanks. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably clearancing the 2008 models to be replaced with 2009 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarooster52 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Interesting, I was just looking through the Gibson Products area and I didn't see the ES 339. I did see the ES 359. Am I blind or......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knuckles Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Guitar rooster that was one of the things that I noticed, its not in the custom shop or in the ES on the revised Gibson website. Maybe they are going to move them out of the custom shop production line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The 339 is spec'd HERE on the ES Microsite. The "View Spec's" button sends you to the wrong page, though. I just found a description of the ES-339 HERE. The description says the scale length is 24" - OOPS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarooster52 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Well, they're definitely not going to dump what appears to be a new success. They've got something planned but I hope its not a leap in price. Some will argue that it is a bargain at $1799, but that's relative to the way over inflated price of the 335. In reality, some other guitars like the 135 require about as much work and are not priced as high just because they can't sell them at too high a price. That is what really drives pricing...what can they get away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
