Gibson ES-339 Figured Dark Purple Burst – compact semi-hollow electric guitar with classic tone and flamed maple top
Overview and features
The Gibson ES-339 builds on the legendary ES-335 design but in a slightly smaller and lighter form. It retains the semi-hollow construction with a solid maple centerblock for extended sustain and improved feedback resistance. The ES-339 Figured takes this concept further with a beautiful AAA flamed maple top in Dark Purple Burst finish, combining classic looks with modern comfort and versatility.
Construction and materials/components
The body is made of three layers of maple and poplar with a figured maple veneer top, reinforced by a maple centerblock and quarter-sawn spruce bracing. The mahogany neck has a comfortable Rounded C profile, and the rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and small acrylic block inlays. This combination produces a warm and balanced tone with excellent resonance and clarity.
Electronics and sound
The guitar features a ’57 Classic humbucker in the neck position and a slightly hotter ’57 Classic + in the bridge. Both pickups are perfectly matched and wired by hand with 500 kΩ pots and Orange Drop capacitors. The result is a wide tonal range from smooth jazz to crisp rock tones with exceptional dynamics and response.
