今天總算把一直不喜歡彈的Taylor Solidbody Custom 和別人在Craigslit換掉了. 試過好多次都沒有人要. 今天狠下心貼了不少錢, 換了把全新的 Gibson Custom Shop ES339. 雖然Taylor Custom 賠的很慘, 但既然不喜歡她, 就讓別人試試她吧.
緣份已盡, 不如分手
ES339 和ES335 大同小異, 主要是琴身小一點. 希望會喜歡她而多彈.
有了ES339, 原來的ES335 如果有好價格就要賣掉了. 希望能賺回一點, 賠償今天的損失.
Classic semi-hollowbody sound from a solidbody-sized guitar.
The ES-339 is the next generation from the Custom Shop of Gibson's iconic ES electric guitars. It goes where no guitar has gone before with a bold, new semi-hollow tone that is rich with expressive, even stinging, overtones. The ES-339 has some exciting enhancements including Memphis Tone electronics, the 30/60 slender neck profile, and reduced dimensions and weight.
Memphis Tone electronics
Memphis Tone circuitry utilizes 500K audio taper pots that operate with an interactive load that preserves high end as you turn down the volume. The loading effect preserves the full-bodied tone with rich midrange and singing sustain from the '57 Classic humbuckers while adding a very sweet bite. Another difference is the volume is very smooth, rolling off in even increments along with the numbers on the knobs. Since they operate more like how we hear (logarithmically), the controls work the way the player thinks they should. So when the guitarist turns down the volume the highs are still there!
30/60 Neck
Developed in assistance from guitar guru Jon Schwartz. The 30/60 slender neck is a '60s style neck with an extra .030" front-to-back to preserve the semi-hollowbody tone, sustain, and feel while providing smooth playability (The rounded '59 neck profile is also available on the ES-339 '59 Neck - product #515255).
Reduced dimensions and weight
The ES-339 builds on the success of the semi-hollowbody guitars first introduced by Gibson in 1958 with the ES-335. Lighter and more compact than a traditional semi-hollow guitar, the ES-339 retains the distinct semi-hollowbody electric tone that powered so many hit records and landmark performances.
Outer rim output jack
Here's one ES players have been wanting: The output jack is mounted on the outer rim. No more cable crossing the body, spoiling the guitar's clean looks and and getting in your way.
Two '57 Classic Humbuckers with 3-way pickup selection plus individual volume and tone controls provide the incredibly versatile sounds that make the semi-hollow electric famous for its use in jazz, rock, blues, country, and nearly every other style you can think of. Quality Kluson tuners keep retuning time to a minimum, and nickel hardware enhances the great looks.
To show off its vintage vibe, the ES-339 is available in a choice of three finishes: Antique Cherry, Antique Vintage Sunburst, and Light Caramel Burst. The lacquer finish is applied with a light, even touch, allowing the guitar's wood to resonate naturally while providing a protective, mirror-like shine. The Antique Cherry and Antique Vintage Sunburst both come with aged bindings to further enhance the proud ES tradition
The ES-339 comes with a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity.

[網上說ES339是介于LP和ES335之間的吉他. 我認為更接近ES335. 沒什麼LP的感覺, 只有琴身小似LP, 重量可差多了. 音色彈奏幾乎是ES335的感覺. ]
