Epiphone ES-339 P90 PRO Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar Ebony Blog Detail

Classic shape and tone in reduced size.

Epiphone’s Ltd. Ed. ES-339 P-90 PRO is a modern guitar with roots firmly planted in Epiphone’s classic era when Epi’s famed Kalamazoo factory produced rock’s most legendary instruments in the late ’50s and ’60s. Featuring a reduced-size ES-style body and Epiphone’s new P-90R PRO “soapbar” pickups, the ES-339 P-90 PRO semi-hollowbody turns back the clock while breaking new ground in sound and style. Case sold separately.

A Legend Reborn
First introduced in the late ’50s, the original ES Series became an instant rock classic that brought the feel and look of an archtop to a generation of players who had grown up playing solid body guitars like the Les Paul. But for some, ES-style archtops felt too bulky to play on stage or in the studio. Now, the ES-339 P-90 PRO is the perfect remedy featuring smaller body dimensions while still retaining the bell-like tone the ES Series is famous for. And, just like Epi’s nouveau classic ProBucker humbuckers, the P-90 PRO “soapbar” pickups are a stunning recreation of the first generation of handwound P-90s which many consider the best single-coil pickup ever made.

Solid Epiphone Construction
The Epiphone Ltd. Ed. ES-339 P-90 PRO features a reduce-size laminated maple body with a solid center block like original ES-style classics and a black pickguard with metal “E” insignia. The mahogany SlimTaper “D” profile 24.75″ scale neck has 22 medium-jumbo frets and is hand-set and glued with a mortise and tenon neck joint with Titebond glue. The 12″ radius neck features a rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays and a 1.68″ nut. Single-ply cream binding on the fingerboard and body completes the classic look.

Introducing the new Epiphone P-90R PRO
The Ltd. Ed. ES-339 P-90 PRO features Epiphone’s P-90R PRO “soapbar” pickup, a true recreation of the first generation of P-90 pickups found in Les Pauls. Epiphone P-90R PRO single-coil pickups are individually voiced for rhythm and lead and provide a huge variety of sound choices for the modern guitarist. For those used to carrying two or three guitars to get all their favorite sounds, the Ltd. Ed. ES-339 P-90 may be all you’ll ever need to take to a gig from now on.

Epiphone’s guaranteed electronics also include standard controls for each pickup’s volume and tone with smooth black tophats with metal inserts, a tough 3-way toggle switch, and an all-metal heavy-duty Epiphone 1/4″ output jack that gives you a lifetime of worry-free use.

Tough Epiphone Hardware
The Ltd. Ed. ES-339 P-90 PRO features rock-solid hardware including Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece along with “Deluxe” tuners with tulip style buttons.
