339
OK so I've had my 339 for a few months and actually never played it at practice or a gig.
Until last night.
FUCK.
AWESOME.
Plays much like a Lester, but the ease for controlled feedback was great. I also used the Rebel 20(through my deluxe 2x10 cab) last night and it really, REALLY takes pedals well. The 339 will not make it to a live show as I am too hard on guitars live. (tis a shame I know) Awesome rawk tonez.

Re: 339
Isn't that like a mini archtop? That sounds like it'd be a lot of fun to play.

Re: 339
The body is just a bit bigger than my LP's but smaller than a 335

Re: 339
I've always wanted to play one but I don't know if any stores around here even carry Gibson guitars.

Re: 339
Controlled feedback on a 335 (don't know about a 339) is a myth. With my Twin cranked, maybe. About AC/DC gain levels is the max that guitar can take before it starts squealing like a stuck pig.

Re: 339
That's because AC/DC sucks.

Re: 339
I could see that. I was only using a Rebel 20 pushed with an OCD. I had nice even tones feedback when I wanted it, but I could easily see how it would get out of hand cranked more. The gain was decent, more than AC/DC, more modern sounding.

Re: 339
Perhapse you could use the feedback thingy to your advantage... If for some reason you are at a gig and you are trying really hard to get feedback and just arn't getting it switch to the 339 Next guitar will probably be some kind of semi-hollow, very classy things they are

Re: 339
I liked how it would fade to feedback on certain notes but I had to be quick with the volume knob or the thing would start squealing pretty much instantly.

Re: 339
I play at a reasonable volume live, and I'm still able to control my feedback well enough, and as I said I am too hard on guits to play something too nice live. The 339 will stay at practice and recordings only.
