Alanbama Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks guys! I used her for the first gig last night! I just couldn't put it down. I used the 339 all night at a long party! I really love this guitars sound, weight, and playability! It's a pleasure to play. I usualy change to Duncan pups, but these sound great to my ears. I play a lot of classic rock and blues covers, with ocasional Country and they work wonderful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus Top Dan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Looks good. I'm also a very happy owner of a 339. I like the look of the guitar without the pickguard but I couldn't put up with having the two holes from the screws staring at me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanbama Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 The strap came loose last night and I almost dropped my 339! Today I put a set of Dunlop straplocks on it. They are black but I already had them and they look fine. I'm not gonna gig with out straplocks anymore! This is still my favorite guitar. It's the only one I have played since I got it. It's just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lblack Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Well God is truly good. I finaly got a 339! THe mail order places were back ordered bad so I took a chance and called my local dealers. I found one at a place called Bailey Brothers. I played her all day yesterday. She's natural color, and another guy had them holding it for him but he didn't show up Friday or Saturday so I got it! You all were right, it was well worth the wait. So for eveything works like it's supposed to and after I put a set of GHS Boomers 10's on it and set it up the way I like, it sounds and plays wonderful. Thanks for all your input. I am trying to resist a GAS attack for the ES339. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hello everyone. I just joined the board. I have an ES339 on order. Those of you who have one, how are they. Are you glad of your purchase? I just got my Ebony ES339 today, I got it from http://www.americanmusical.com/. I ordered a case for it from Sweetwater, they were in stock. I just barely got it unpacked. No problems with the finish. The action is setup really high, too high for my taste, and the strings feel like cables. I am used to lighter gauge I guess. Gonna put some GHS boomer 10's on it, or maybe even 9's. I can't really say much about it yet, everything works, no hums. Not sure I like the way the knobs sit so high. It's way lighter than I expected, but I guess that's a good thing huh? One reason why I bought this was the size and weight intrigued me. I love my old Dot, and this one won't replace it, but it might be a keeper. The smaller size makes it easier to handle than the Dot. Neck is fine. No pic's, my wife is out of town with the camera. I would have ordered the Cherry, but my Dot is Cherry, and I thought the black would look nice, but I have to admit, I miss seeing any wood grain, but I got what I ordered..lol Will need to break it in, and see about lowering the action, it's set higher than any guitar I have ever owned. Why? I don't know. Not sure about the pickups yet, need to change strings and height and get the feel of the thing. Not disappointed with my purchase so far. I bought a beautiful Orange PRS SE Santana last month. Really nice well made guitar. I still can't play like Carlos tho..lol.., this one feels similar. Both are light and small. UDATE! Put some GHS 9's (yes 9's)on it, and lowered the action a bit, not much. Much better. I think when the strings get broke in it's going to be awesome. Will it replace my Dot? Heck no. I love my dot..

Alanbama Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Congrats on your new 339! You'll love it. I use GHS strings as well, only 10's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lblack Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I am trying to resist a GAS attack for the ES339. Enjoy! GAS attack was irresistible! I got my Epiphone ES339 Pro and hard case on Friday from my local music store. Vintage Sunburst. I really do like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canon_mutant Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Those 57 classics are the bees knees. Love mine. It's my cheapest gibbie and I probably play it the most. Of course that's partly because I sometimes just grab it and play it acoustically on the couch late at night when I am fighting for sleep. You'll like it! Sorry, I own the Gibson version. Haven't played the Epi version but I'm sure it's fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
