«  a great guitar! »

Published on 11/21/14 at 02:14
A custom shop Gibson Es made in USA with the mahogany neck rosewood key 59 rounded profile. The pickups are Gibson 57'classic bam home (alnico II). Standard 2 volume 2 tone settings. The semi hollow body is laminated maple. size is super comfortable between a Les Paul and a 335.

UTILIZATION

The handle 59 'rounded is very fat !!! I have big hands though !!! I had a fender a SRV in the past the handle was already not bad but this is even bigger. I liked but in the long access to treble was a little tricky ...
ergonomics of the guitar is great I did a lot of rehearsals and some concerts with ... and she did not particularly tired and I have never been disappointed!
Sound level sounds here after all !!! I just set up a few microphones and cords at my convenience is very personal (it's more microphones me not too high to keep the clarity and definition ...)
I play reggae style Afro Manding jazz blues rock ... especially in clean, crunch and with a tube screamer .... and here sounds great !!!! Guitar guitarist respects the game and is very reactive ... bliss !!

SOUNDS

This guitar has filled me in what I wanted to level the styles I did with (see above). You can almost do anything with jazz to rock ... well pissed The pickups are great for me ... I love the grain with alnico II is overcharged sweet as her .... the sound j ' heard in the records I listened to (sound serious jazz pickups is great to benson to scofiel ect ect !!!! bb king (blues) rock ACDC, Bob Marley and the Wailers with Al Anderson and Junior Marvin ... .ect ect).
I used it with my MesaBoogie mark 1 reissue and it was really great !!! I tried it in my jazz chorus 120 is not bad but it sounds much better on the lamp !!!!
I liked all of sonnorits this guitar !!!

OVERALL OPINION

it was my first Gibson she filled me !!! I can sell it for problems tunes .... and I am very sorry !!! For now the new price is too expensive !!!
However it really is a great guitar that must be tamed !!! ie adjust to taste and play a lot to appreciate it! It meets many of the game here and the owner is great !!! With this Es 339 you can play almost any sound .... and here !!! Sniff one day I can be ... but would resume a OCCAZ and sleeve 30/60 which I think is an intermediary between the end 60 and the 59'rounded but I have not tried.
