Full Description
View Full DescriptionLimitless electric sound
Bursting out of your amp, the scintillating sound of Burstbucker pickups. Loaded with two of these humbuckers, the ES-339 Joan Jett is supremely powerful. You'll have no trouble cutting through the mix. But they're so much more than just loud. They're capable of pretty much any tone you're after. From bellowing lows to singing highs, you've got a huge range of rock 'n' roll tones to use in your music. You'll never be limited by this guitar.
Stunning hollowbody clarity
Gibson's ES guitars are renowned for their full, rich tone. There's nothing quite like a hollowbody for delivering electric power with a touch of acoustic warmth. But in models of the past, it was difficult to combat the acoustic feedback that would often muddy the signal of the guitar. In the ES-339, Gibson have loaded a thermally-engineered chambered maple centreblock. Reducing the sonic reverberations around the inside of the guitar, it ensures your tone remains focused and pure. So you can crank up the volume and enjoy your unique electric hollowbody tone - without the unwanted noise.
Playability engineered to perfection
Your playing experience is vital in how well you can perform with an instrument. And Gibson are well aware of this. So there's a lot that's gone into the Joan Jett ES-339 to ensure playability is at the absolute maximum. For example. There's a rounded "C" shaped neck which is designed to fit snugly into your hand - eliminating cramp. Playing on for hours becomes easy. And only the best materials have been used in crafting the ES-339. Dark rosewood used for the fingerboard is a premium material that you'll only find on the very best guitars. Smooth and sleek, it feels amazing beneath your fingertips - making playing a total joy.
Infused with legendary rock 'n' roll
Joan Jett has been a mainstay on the rock scene since the 1970s. As the force behind Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, she's had a string of huge hits, including the iconic "I Love Rock 'N' Roll". And just like that famous song, this ES-339 has rock 'n' roll at its heart too. Designed in collaboration with Joan and limited to just 150 units worldwide, these won't be around forever. Grab your slice of rock history.
Enjoy stress-free transport
Every gigging musician knows that one of the most excruciating parts of touring is ensuring their instrument arrives from venue to venue in one piece. With a Gibson hardshell case included with the Joan Jett ES-339, you can rest assured that your guitar is safe from bumps and scrapes while you're on the road. Don't worry - it'll be staying in pristine condition.
