UTILIZATION

Handle gibson for those who have already try this is an extraordinary comfort that your guitar for this. the handle is relatively narrow so for those who are of big paw I highly recommend taking the time to try before you buy (c tjrs that must be the case prior to the acquisition of a guitar). It is a light guitar with a bass drum like a Les Paul but with ES as it allows easy access to acute and have a signature sound tinted half body. Really nice to play in clear sound with a slight crunch and Clemens with distortion. The knob works well, contrary to what I read on another test, the sound changes very gradually, both volumes tones.
I said it's a shame it is not mechanical oil baths grover type, but after my first string change the meca Kluson its widely as well and takes very good tuning.
I would end by saying that it is very important to try an instrument before buying and considering the price in-store purchase is recommended as a model for each instrument is different. I buy in the store and I pay the same price as on the internet.

SOUNDS

Because of its small size crate Les Paul, this guitar is ultra versatile, you will not played with Pink Floyd (and even for the gifted handle) but but against blues rock, hard perhaps even the metal. I have plugged into my Marshall Valvestate VS 8080 with effect just this amp can do a lot of things, we go from blues to heavy distortion with great pleasure. Both micro are very different, one very acute one more round with more serious, in short words, but I still say you should try everything c. Grasse to the beam through no larsenne even with heavy distortion! which is not the case on the other half body as the model 335.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a fender strat, a half box 335 wild custom guy with Bigsby and therefore the 339 now, I had a Les Paul and a Grestch corvette, the 339 is my preferred guitar, light and handy I play hours on .
Only flat satin black is very messy to leave manic fell. I wanted it black so I assume but fingerprints hands and companies are legion after the first 15 minutes of play
