Because I buy too many guitars, I have both an Epiphone ES-335, and an ES-339 right now. I'm having a hard time hearing a difference between the two so your input is appreciated! Amp for the day is a Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb (Blonde)
Thanks for your series on the Epiphone series, Austin! I was about to buy the Dave Grohl DG-335, mostly for vanity & because I'm a huge fan of Grohl, but I've changed my mind after seeing your videos.
I own a 339(9) which is a limited edition run Gibson made with a les paul 59' neck. I've played a lot of 335s as well. I find owning the 339 has been much better for me economically. It fits in the standard Mono bag, so I didn't have to buy one for a 335 and as I got busier and busier, I started buying dual cases (double electric and A electric/acoustic duo case). In both of these cases, the 339 can fit alongside my other guitar of choice. This would not have been the case had I of purchased a 335.
In terms of tone, they are probably the same.
Pros of the 335 - Hides the pizza belly better lol.
I have a 2016 ES 339 Memphis - Its a complete "Jack of all trades" it can do everything from death metal to Jazz. Without the bulk of the 335 body. Keep the 339
Keep the 335. Such an iconic look with the black on black, and that tone is nice!
I kept the 335 ❤
I think it comes down to feel, especially the neck. Additionally, is either coil tapped for additionally versatility?
Im leaning toward the 339 because of the body size personally
Tough call, honestly. I often gravitate towards 335s and semi hollow guitars in general and I tend towards them. I played a 339 not too long ago and I was impressed. I’d still go with a 335. If I want a guitar with the dimensions of the 339, there’s always the Les Paul. Both sounded great, though.
Thanks 😊
Keep them both. One matches your shirt, and the other one matches your pants.
That's hilarious that didn't even occur to me
I have tried BOTH, i like the size of the 339 MUCH MORE.
I'm in the same boat except with Gretsch. I got a big semi hollow electromatic and the Jr version. The Jr has low action and good access to the bottom of the neck. The big one has three pickups and more sound options. They're different enough that i can't choose but similar enough that i feel like i should. Hard to say who's copying who between the Eph335 and any number of Gretsch models. But George and John both played Gretsch first so.... GRETSCH RULES!
you need to rerecord this as I hear volume error
Not just that, but some levels are distorting. Not for the first time, either.
