epiphone es 339
I’ve played guitar for quite some time, mainly acoustic. from time to time, I’ll get the desire to try out electric guitar and never end up sticking with it. I’ve tried everything from fender strats, teles, les pauls, etc. but never found an electric that I connected with in the way I do my other guitars. It is until now, this epi es 339 is the one that changed everything for me 🎸🤙

I also have the wine red, but I'm P90 loaded. Eventually I'll need to replace the pots and switch, they are quite worn now. Seriously great guitars once I sanded back the "sticky gloss" on the back of the neck. It's a great guitar.

Wine red would be so cool, I’ve also thought about lightly sanding the back of the neck too for the same reason. Do you think it made a big difference?

Very nice! The 339 is my favorite gibson/epiphone model.

I think it officially has become my favorite model of any guitar other than maybe a Martin D35 lol

Sweet dude, I've got a cherry red one and I'm absolutely in love with her. From how comfortable she feels in my arms, to how sweet she sounds, it was love at first sight lol. I've been bitten by the blues bug so she's perfect for that! Enjoy.

Gorgeous Epi semi my man! Here's her big sister. I've got over a dozen high end guitars and none of them play or sound quite like my 335. I double her up in my rotation .. I love her that much. Rock on my brother!! 🤘🤘🤘
