Steven Tari Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It came this afternoon. I took it to my room where I have a Epiphone Practice amp amd put her thru some heavy handed investigative playing. As soon as I strapped it on, It felt like it was made for me. I love the 30/60 neck, the weight is perfect, And for you guys who were laughing when I called the case storage area a "Pocket". Well so does Gibson. There's a card tied to the guitar case Telling me my Gibson card of Authitisety is in the case Pocket. I'll get pictures and sound's up when I can. My computers down and I'm useing my wife's laptop for now and it don't have to many frills. I'm very happy and amazed what a fine guitar this is. I'll take it out to the garage tomorrow to my Peavey Transtube Supreme w/4-12 and have some more fun putting her thru the paces. PS You guys were right it was worth the wait.

pippy Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Looking forward to the treats as promised! Pardon my ignorance but what is a 30/60 neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tari Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Looking forward to the treats as promised! Pardon my ignorance but what is a 30/60 neck? I picked this up from one of the Quotes on the 30/60 neck I liked best. Simply put, this neck is similar to the neck shape that Gibson began offering on some guitars back in 1960, which has since come to be known as a 1960’s Slim Profile Neck. But the 30/60 Neck is .030 of an inch thicker from front to back, all the way up the neck, and is now being referred to as a 1960’s Slim-Neck Plus. The “Plus” is of course the .030 of an inch thicker neck. This gives one the advantage of a lightning fast modern style guitar neck, but with the increased sustain that is traditionally associated with a guitar that has a thicker neck.

Dub-T-123 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 The 30/60 is awesome. If I got a 339 I think I would have to get the 30/60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Thanks for clearing up the 30 / 60 thing, Steven I must say it sounds an excellent compromise. (I think I'll start calling my '91 'Classic' as having a ' -30/60' neck. LOL!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Congrats. How about a couple pics?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Nothing against the 339 but you hit the real reason I'm very, very happy for you: You said it fits you in every way. You're a lucky picker. A very lucky picker. I think a lot of guitar players never really feel they have an instrument that seems entirely a part of themselves. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Congratulations on the new 339. I have been thinking of one for myself. Keep us informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 339: Ultimate in the guitar. Smaller size than a 339, bigger than an LP, and very versatile tones. I too feel that the guitar is almost made for me. My "dream" guitar is a little different, but overall, that is the closest I can get in production guitars. Post pictures man! PS, Pelham Blue 339s are full of GAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
