EPIPHONE Inspired By Gibson ES-339 (IGES339PENH1) semi-hollowbody electric guitar with center block is designed for those seeking the tone and look of an ES-335, but in a slightly smaller, lighter instrument. The hand-rolled C-shaped mahogany neck reminds players where it all started. A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers showcases the versatile Gibson ES™ tone that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Graph Tech® NuBone® nut, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, and Epiphone’s exclusive LockTone™ bridge and tailpiece, which also add more sustain to your tone.
Ever since the arrival of new CEO James “JC” Curleigh in 2018, a wise businessman with a passion for guitars, Gibson quickly gained its nobility back. Large-scale investment were made to renovate manufacturing base, in order to offer better quality instruments, with a more realistic price, and smartly rethought range of products that will satisfy Gibson lovers regardless their budget.
The Epiphone range of instruments follow the same philosophy with :
– recalibrate product architecture based on Original and Inspired By Gibson Collections, leveraging Gibson quality & heritage
– add to Original platform including USA electrics and acoustics and Masterbilt acoustics made overseas
– simplify nomenclature and price/feature benefits – follow Gibson nomenclature for Inspired by Gibson Collection
– influence and inspire new generations of fans with our Artist Collection
– guitars modeled after Gibson shapes will get the classic Epiphone Kalamazoo headstock.
