Pre-Owned Gibson ES-339 - Trans Ebony with Hardshell Case

The Gibson ES-339: A modern classic in a compact frame

Compact semi-hollowbody with legendary Gibson tone

The Gibson ES-339 in Trans Ebony is the answer for players seeking classic semi-hollow warmth in a more manageable body size. Designed to channel the spirit of the ES-335, this 2022 ES-339 retains all the richness and clarity of its larger sibling, while offering a lighter, more compact form factor. Constructed with a 3-ply maple, poplar and maple body and single-ply cream binding, this instrument balances traditional styling with modern comfort.

Upgraded feel, handcrafted performance

This particular guitar has been Plek’d by the in-house luthiers at Five Star Guitars, ensuring optimized playability across the fretboard. The mahogany neck features Gibson's comfortable rounded C profile and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard. The inlays are acrylic dots and the nut is crafted from Graph Tech for excellent tuning stability and smooth response. Light playwear throughout reflects honest use, but there are no major dings, dents or scratches. All cosmetic wear is documented in the photos.

Refined hardware with subtle upgrades

The original kidney buttons have been swapped with pearl buttons, the original tuner buttons are included for those who prefer the stock look. Hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and black top hat knobs with silver reflectors, all finished in nickel plating. The electronics remain untouched with factory-installed 57 Classic humbuckers in both neck and bridge positions, delivering smooth vintage tones with clarity and punch.

Versatile electronics for studio or stage

Thanks to the dual 57 Classic and Classic Plus humbuckers, this ES-339 brings tonal versatility in spades. Clean tones ring with note definition and warmth, while overdriven sounds retain a woody character and smooth sustain. The traditional control layout includes two volumes, two tones, and a three-way toggle for dialing in your voice with ease. Whether you're chasing jazz cleans, bluesy overdrive, or modern rock textures, this guitar responds with rich, balanced output across the board.

Professionally maintained and ready to play

This 2022 ES-339 is more than just a pretty face, it’s been professionally set up and is ready for the stage, studio or session work. A hard-to-find Trans Ebony finish gives it a sleek, modern visual presence. This instrument ships with its original hardshell case and all original case candy included.
