Iceman6937 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Not much talk around here yet so here goes: I just got an Epiphone es 339 Pro in cherry from FexEx yesterday. Very nice out of the box. Nut slots look and sound good, rosewood board is smooth and colorful, fret ends smooth, grover keystone tuners (big surprise since the specs say wilkinson), setup was really pretty good. One sticker on the back of the headstock says "Made in China" and one says "100% inspected and setup in the USA". The strings sucked (no surprise) and a tiny bit of stain bleed into the very well-applied cream body binding deep in the top cutaway. Coil split is very nice, sounds more like a P90 than any other sc I have heard.
RaSTuS Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Welcome to the forum Iceman, there's a great bunch of guys/gals around here, I hope you like the place. Congrats on your new 339, they're wonderful guitars, contemplating a 339 Ultra myself, hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it, HNGD to you. There have been quite a few threads on them, they seem to be very popular in peoples opinions, not many have one yet though seeing as they haven't been on the market that long. It'd be great to see your beauty, if you could post some pics it'd be cool, we love our geet porn around here. Info on how to post pics is at the top of the DIY thread pinned to the top of the Epi Lounge. DIY Thread EDIT: there's also a Guitar and Gear Review thread pinned to the to of this section (Epi Electrics).
Steve-M Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Welcome aboard Iceman. The ES-339 looks to be one sweet Epi, Congratz. I sure would like to see some photos. HNGD.
Iceman6937 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Posted January 6, 2012 Thanks for the welcome! I'll try to post some pics this weekend.

guitar dog Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Welcome to the forum and congrats on the 339! I think this a good opportunity to post a picture of mine again - it's been about a week since I have posted one.
Steve-M Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Very nice! The wood grain shows beautifully through the Cherry. I really like the smaller profile on these.
ontherug Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 nice axe! I've been contemplating saving up for one of those bad boys, but I just got an epi lp standard a few months ago. she plays like a dream too! how are the tones on these beauties, compared to a dot/sheraton/etc?
