The End of an Era, the Beginning of a Legend
Whether you play blues, rock, jazz, orcountry, the Gibson Memphis ES-339 is one guitar that is entirely at home withany or all of it. A pair of Gibson’s highly acclaimed 57 Classic humbuckingpickups accurately replicate the sound of the legendary PAF humbuckers of thelate ’50s, with performance updates for today’s demanding player. In the neckposition, loaded into a guitar with the ES-339’s sonic versatility, the 57Classic provides a range of outstanding voices, from mellow jazz work withoutstanding depth and definition, to a singing blues-lead voice with plenty ofcrispness and cut. In the bridge, it gives you everything from bitingtwang to wailing, cutting rock tones with a little overdrive applied. All this,and the ES-339 uses Gibson’s Nashville Tone Circuit to immaculately maintainhighs as you roll back the volume controls. The classic pairing of aTune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide solid anchoring andpoint-perfect adjustment at the body end, while a PLEK-cut Corian nut keeps itall sweet at the end of the neck—a hardware complement that works together tooptimize resonance and sustain.
As for playability, the ES-339offers the player a choice of superb neck feels. The rounded ’59 profilereplicates the slightly chunky yet fast carve of late ’50s Les Pauls andES-335s

Guitars are finished inyour choice of Antique Red, Antique Vintage Sunburst, or Light Caramel Burst.
Pickups and Electronics
The Gibson Memphis ES-339 is equipped withpickups and electronics that accurately reflect the original units of the mostdesirable ES-335s ever made, but with performance enhancements to benefittoday’s player.
