Gibson Custom Shop (2010) ES-339 Memphis Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar - Natural, w/OHSC

Built at Gibson's legendary Memphis facility, this 2010 ES-339 combines the warmth and resonance of a traditional Gibson semi-hollow with a compact body that feels much closer to a solidbody guitar.

Introduced as a smaller alternative to the ES-335, the ES-339 retains the familiar laminated maple semi-hollow construction and solid maple centerblock while substantially reducing the overall body dimensions. The result retains the sustain, harmonic complexity, and airy response associated with Gibson's ES family while offering a particularly comfortable playing experience.

This example is finished in elegant Antique Natural, highlighting the maple grain beneath the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Cream body and fingerboard binding, pearl dot inlays, nickel hardware, and traditional Gibson appointments complete the understated vintage-inspired aesthetic.

The set mahogany neck features Gibson's 30/60 profile, a design based on the slim 1960s neck profile with approximately .030" of additional depth. It is paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius, 22 frets, and Gibson's familiar 24.75" scale length.

A pair of Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers delivers vintage PAF-inspired warmth, clarity, and harmonic richness. The guitar also incorporates Gibson's period Memphis Tone Circuit, utilizing 500k audio-taper volume pots designed to better retain high-frequency detail as the volume is rolled back.

Built during Gibson's Memphis Custom Shop era, these earlier ES-339s have developed a strong following for their combination of compact dimensions, traditional construction, '57 Classic pickups, and distinctly Memphis-era specifications.

Includes its original Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case.
