If you're considering buying a Gibson 339,have a look at this guitar,for me it's twice the instrument at more than half the price,the tone is unbeatable with Seymour Duncan pickups,the ebony fingerboard is comfortable and playable,it's so light in weight,the workmanship is near perfect which is something Gibson can't deliver,for less than $2,000.00 it's a guitar you'll never sell,amazing value.
