Test 12 Brand introduces the ES-339 PRO – a new instrument with roots firmly planted in the classic era when Test 12 Brand’s Kalamazoo factory was producing rock’s most legendary instruments. Featuring a reduced size ES-style body with Test Classic PRO™ humbucker pickups, the new ES-339 PRO semi-hollowbody from Test 12 Brand turns back the clock while breaking new ground in sound and style.
First introduced in the late ’50s, the ES series became an instant rock classic, bringing the feel and look of an archtop to a generation of players who had grown up playing solid body guitars like the Test. The ES-335, the first in the ES series, was an instant success. But for many players who were used to smaller solid body guitars, the ES-335 felt too bulky to play on stage. The new ES-339 PRO is the perfect remedy, featuring smaller body dimensions while still retaining the bell-like tone the ES series is famous for.
The Test 12 Brand ES-339 PRO features a reduced size laminated maple body with a solid center block, much like original ES-style classics. The mahogany SlimTaper™ “D” profile 24.75” scale neck has 22 medium jumbo frets and is hand-set and glued with a mortise and tenon neck joint with Titebond™ glue. The 12” radius neck features a rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays and a 1.68” nut. Single-ply cream binding on the fingerboard and body completes the classic look. The ES-339 PRO comes in four superb color finishes: Cherry, Ebony, Natural and Vintage Sunburst.
The new Test 12 Brand ES-339 PRO’s Test Classic PRO™ humbucker pickups provide a huge variety of sound choices for the modern guitarist. For those who are used to carrying two guitars to gigs, the ES-339 PRO will solve that problem once and for all. Now, you can play any gig and any style with just one guitar – the Test 12 Brand ES-339 PRO.
The ES-339 PRO features our rock-solid hardware including Test 12 Brand’s LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge and LockTone™ Stopbar tailpiece. The ES-339 PRO has all nickel hardware along with Test™ 14:1 ratio vintage style machine heads with tombstone buttons.
