Yep, this is my "Inspired By Gibson" 2020 ES-339 in stock form as it was delivered to me. https://www.epiphone.com/en-US/Electric-Guitar/EPIXJR307/Pelham-Blue Since 2020 the 339 has not been available with P90's, so I installed my favorite (humbucker sized) Mean 90's and added a Duesenberg Les Trem II ...

What is the trem you used? rb It is a Duesenberg Les Trem II I normally install a roller bridge with them, as well. I have also installed "Les Trem II's" on a few of my other guitars. Les Trem II's just replace the stop bar and can be taken off without damage to your guitar. In addition with their adjustable dive bar they can dive much farther than a Bigsby.

rbpicker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Mihcmac, Thanks for the scoop on the Les Trem. I checked out some YouTube videos on it. I may get one for my IBG Les Paul. Looks great. based on the video reviews it seems to be a very high quality product. roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also because the dive bar is angled and adjustable it has so much potential for diving, way beyond just doing swells. Some of my Les Trem II's have migrated through several guitars, because they don't cause any damage, I remove them if I sell the guitar and install it on another one, which only takes a few minutes.

rbpicker Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I ordered one of the Les Trems from 12th Fret up in Toronto. I’m in Michigan so the shipping was very reasonable. Looking forward to trying it on my Ebony IBG Les Paul. roger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbpicker Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Mihcmac, mine is the 60s version. It looks identical except for the Grover tuners on mine. I may swap them out for tulips. The neck shape on mine is a bit slimmer than the 50s version, which helps given my arthritis. : ( I’ll report back on the Trem install when it arrives. I was notified today that it is shipping soon. rb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would keep the Grovers Edited August 12, 2022 by mihcmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
