Looks nice, sounds great, unfortunately unplayable
Big Jake 08.03.2021
First, the guitar is really beautiful. The pelham blue color is great and the binding looks mostly good. The finishing of the f-holes is pretty rough, but it is OK.

The new pickups also sound great. REALLY good actually if you like the PAF sound. Bright and articulate. No muddy sounds here.

The problems:

the nut was not cut at all so the strings sit really high at the first fret.

the fretwork is terrible. buzzes and dead spots all over with VERY sharp fret ends. Several spots on the neck cannot be played at all, even after a good setup. Too bad! It is currently being sent back for warranty repair or replacement. Maybe a monday model, but after all of the epiphone marketing claiming they are improving their quality control I am extremely dissappointed. It seems they forgot to finish building the guitar. Nut cutting and fret levelling are a part of the build process.

A lot of guitar for that money.
Daron Neega 28.12.2020
What to say, this 339 sounds wonderfully, just like the real thing...
I own both a Gibson 335 and an Gibson ES Les Paul, and the quality of sound is at that level.
Under an esthetic point of view, the instrument is nice, good painting, no issues.
Regarding the playability is good, even if this aspect is the one different from the Gibson “touch and feel”. I’m not surprised of course, this guitar costs a fifth of the Gibson version, and somewhere the savings have to be gone...
But, to be honest, this guitar is great for not professional guitarists, and it’s good for advanced ones too.
This guitar becomes a little less comfortable playing, for example, Donna Lee at 230 bpm, but not everyone has this need...

Buen producto
Javier.laver90 27.10.2022
Aspecto sin duda lo mejor de este equipo. El sonido es bueno, al igual que otras marcas de competencia directa. Lo único que he indicado una estrella menos es por un tema de fabricación. No se si fue mi caso o es el general, pero ha llegado con marcas justo en los bordes (Puntas), y no se si es desprolijidad de la fabricación u otro motivo. Así tambien uno de los potenciometros se encontraba literlmente suelto.

Super Teil!
E.H.Stark 28.12.2020
Diese Gitarre klingt echt super! Sowohl Hardware als auch Elektronik wirken wertig und gut verarbeitet. Die Bespielbarkeit von Haus aus ist angenehm, für mich allerdings unwichtig da ich ein anderes Setup bevorzuge. Das einzige was mir direkt negativ aufgefallen ist, ist das das Griffbrett bei mir sehr rau war.. für bendings nicht so angenehm. Kann man mit denzentem Abschleifen sicherlich beheben aber ich für meinen Teil wollte das Griffbrett eh bemalen, da es mir ab Werk zu hell ist und konnte damit das Problem beseitigen. Ob die Garantie bei solchen Aktionen erhalten bleibt wage ich allerdings zu bezweifeln.

Fazit:
Aufjedenfall eine Kaufempfehlung, das Geld allemal Wert und wenn man ein bisschen Arbeit reinsteckt auch noch mehr!
