G McBride Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 OK, I may be crazy but I love my 339 and play it all the time. I have been thinking of getting another one in a different color just so I would have one to play if the other had a problem. I searched ebay and a ES 359 AAA Flame Top was for sale and I watched to the end. Kicked myself for not bidding because it didn't bring much more that a new 339 from MF would cost me. Next day it came back for sale because the guy didn't want to ship out of the States and a foreign buyer had won the bid even though it was stated no shipping outside of US 48 states. Long story short, this time I bid and won the guitar. I will have it by the end of next week. I am done buying guitars now until the right one comes along and tempts me again.

rocketman Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Congrats! Can't wait to see pictures of it. When I got my Figured Top 339 the 359 hadn't come out yet. But I would most likely gone with the 359 because I love the way it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G McBride Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks Rocketman. I have been sitting around all weekend with buyers remorse and fierce anticipation. I hate waiting on something to be shipped. At least I had my 339 to occupy some of my spare time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57classic Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Got it yesterday. Wow man, that is spectacular! I contemplated the same thing before I got my 339. I'm super happy with my choice but that is beautiful and I love the ebony fretboard. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G McBride Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Changed strings today, put on a set a D'adero 110s. Brought the guitar to life, it was kind of bland when it came in. Sounds much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Yeah that's what I use on my ES-339. Well actually on all my guitars, except for the Strat which gets the 9's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
