Rabs Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Taken from the Facebook photo page NEW! ES-390 in Faded Cherry & Vintage Sunburst The fully-hollow construction emulates the traditionalism of the ES-330, the beautiful figured Maple body, and the bright, chiming character of two Mini-Humbuckers, all uniting to transform a simple piece of equipment into a new breed, a game-changer, a truly remarkable instrument that is destined to dwell with other dignified classics in the pantheon of the world’s greatest guitars. Gibson delivers on the principle that big tonal adaptability can come in small packages, from the opulent depth of a jazz tone, to country twang, to the gritty and robust rock and roll resonance, the ES-390 is a bountiful bantam multitasking implement of musical diversity. After you have felt how comfortable and light it is, after you take in the splendor of the guitar’s appearance, and even after you have heard the smooth and present voice this guitar has… …you might still not believe it. Top:Figured Maple, three ply with poplar core Back:Figured Maple, three ply with poplar core Rim:Figured Maple, three ply with poplar core Binding:Cream Fingerboard:Rosewood Inlay:Pearl Block Scale:24 3/4" Scale length with 1 11/16" nut width Tuners:Tone Pro single line single band butterscotch tulip buttons, press-in bushings Bridge:Nickel no wire ABR Tailpiece:Nickel trapeze tailpiece Pickups:Mini Humbucker (front), Mini Humbucker (back) Controls:“Memphis Tone Circuit”; 500K audio pots all positions, 3-way switch, mylar .022mfd capacitors Knobs:Black reflector knobs with silver inserts Finish:Antiqued Faded Cherry Red or Vintage Sunburst/Nitrocellulose Lacquer Collateral:Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity & Custom Shop case ES-335 with Wraparound tailpiece in Orange Drop Les Paul Junior Double-cut in Pewter Les Paul Custom Figured in Purple Widow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Those ES-390s with the minis are hot. Wish Gibson would make Midtowns with the minis, so I could afford a beauty like that. Cheers... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VertigoCap Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Wow, and I was just complaining about no Elitist Sheraton II (with mini-hbs) and no Riviera (with mini-hbs) and no Gibson alternatives...I was wondering to myself if the brains at Gibson decided mini-hbs were totally passe for the 20teens...:) The ES-390 is apparently their way of saying, "shut up dummy." I must inspire the best in some people...(It's really a beautiful guitar, too.) Boy, I guess I have to start complaining about no semi-hollow Gibson guitar with mini-hbs, now... Should I complain about how Gibson should release a semi-hollow, maple center-block guitar with mini-hbs or a semi-hollow, chambered-mahogany body guitar with mini-hbs?
