Gibson Memphis Limited Edition ES-390 Figured Electric Guitar (with Case)
Finished in a luscious dark burst, this ES-390 resonates with thick tone via redesigned MHS P-90 pickups and maple-veneered, fully-hollow body construction.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Fully hollow thinline body Hybrid acoustic/electric with wide tonal range
Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish Lets guitar age naturally without impeding tone
Rosewood fretboard Open, warm tone and smooth playing feel
MHS P-90 pickups Underwound alnico II / III coils for vintage tone

The wood and construction of the ES-390 all contribute greatly to the tone, aiding this guitar's exceptional sustain and depth, and yielding a resonance that can be felt right through the body. The sound waves resonate within the hollow airspace of the Maple veneered Body, around the F-holes, and throughout the solid glue joints.

The ES-390 from Gibson Memphis blends the characteristics of two favorite models--old and new--in a superbly playable guitar with entirely its own voice and vibe.

But it's different from either, the ES-390 takes the cleverly compacted dimensions of the popular ES-339, making it a more comfortable playing proposition for those used to having smaller-proportioned solid bodies in their hands.

It might be a size conceived in the 21st century, but the ES-390 hangs with the best of vintage Gibson semis for construction and components. The traditional ES body made from laminated maple top, back and sides is jointed to a glued-in neck made from quarter-sawn mahogany with a one-piece rosewood fingerboard sporting small-block inlays. Newly redesigned MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) P-90 pickups, created from intensive examination of the finest original vintage units, nail those beloved hot, thick, raunchy tones with impressive sparkle and clarity. To cap a sweet build from the skilled luthiers at Gibson… read more Memphis, the ES-390 is finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in a luscious Dark Burst reminiscent of the finest vintage archtops, with vintage colored binding. read less
