ES-339 Cherry : Seriously Worth It

4 years ago

This is a great guitar and has so many high quality features with the GraphTech nut, Grover Tuners and LockTone Bridge. I have 7 Gibsons and this has the fattest neck of them all which feels great. It's a shame they used Mahogany as it does neck-dive, and Maple might have been a better choice here. The paintwork is poor where red paint is visible over the binding in some places which is disappointing QA. The CTS pots don't live up to expectations as the volume only kicks in at 5 on the Neck and Bridge PUP, so I question if CTS at all as per the Epiphone website. That said it's still a great purchase for the price and swap out the PUPs for some sweet P90s to make it really sing.
