VoxyLady Music thank you! Shot 4 videos today in fact, and I have some (hopefully fun) new guitar shootouts coming soon ~

Just Purchased the 339 Pro & having it Plecked from SW.....I got time, & ready for the old folks home in a bit.Thanks for the Video in my younger years I would have the Casino.

I love my Pelham Blue ES339 Pro. Great feeling and playing guitar.

I played both in the store....couldn't decide, so bought both! Each definitely has it's own niche, so at the price here in Tokyo, I couldn't go far wrong. The "Pro Buckers" on the 339 are based on Gibson's "Burst Buckers", and I have found no reason to consider changing them. Both guitars are well put together, no sharp fret ends, lovely necks etc. Only gripe is a slightly rough finish around the f-holes on my cherry ES-339 Pro. The natural finish on the Casino Coupe is flawless. Great review Jack. Thanks very much .

I play through a 71 deluxe reverb with a texas heat speaker and I simply can't imagine a better tone. Epiphone simply makes the best guitar for the money there is! People tend to think they are inferior because they are copied from Gibson and they may be to Gibson's top of the line but compared to their entry level stuff,I like my epiphone better. Just shows what a great company Gibson/ epiphone is

Clowers Hiball They're excellent guitars! I think a lot of people dont realize that Epiphone has a long history of making high end guitars before being bought out by Gibson, and that early on they were considered equals.

My Epi 339 has Gibson pickups(one is supposed to be a Classic 57), Switchcraft jack & switch, Emerson/CTS Audio Taper pots, Canare shielded wiring, Orange Drop caps and a bone nut. It sounds better than most Gibsons and plays just as good. It even sounds better than my 1977 Les Paul Custom.

They are pretty close to the Gibson sound. Gibson ES 339 and 335 are a bit more clear and punchy. The Gibson might age better/ or might not. I'm not sure the Gibson is 10 times worth the price. One can do a lot with that left over cash and I don't think the average people you play for are going to care much one way or the other.

An easy way to bridge that gap too is to upgrade the wiring. Better pots & caps will really open up some of that clarity. I haven't yet but I'm going to upgrade the wiring at least on the Coupe to 50s style with Paper in Oil capacitors. Gives more of an open, transparent, sort of woody tone.

I have a red Casino Coupe. Under 6 lbs. Feel, fit and comfort is perfect. (However I did have pickups rebuilt) Sound it even better now. Still considering an ES339 too.

I own a epi339 p90 pro _a real music machine& fire breather!!

Yes, you won't be able to avoid the noise since it is a single coil, and it will be worse with the more overdrive you use. If fact I just picked one up today a blackie, rental for now. I have played it just a bit clean through a vintage tube amp and I did not notice any unwanted noise, (but on low volumes since everybody is home). A noise gate may be needed for any appreciable gain. Also, since it is fully hollow, and not a semi, (and beautifully light), it will be subject to feedback the louder you play. But so far at low volumes just beautiful tones and I would add to its versatility as a jazz guitar too with the tone knob and some of the volume rolled off. Hope that helps. I also did not notice any noise on the vid (assuming no post processing), but either way it should be bit of a "hummer", as it is basically a big fat single coil.

That Savanna song is really good. Thanks for the comparison. I’ve got the 339 Pro and I love the feel, versatility and playability. One of my favorite guitars. Don’t have a Casino, Coupe or otherwise. I do have a Riviera 390. Semi hollow body with three (?!?) P90 pickups and a Bigsby trem. Beautiful guitar, but way too much going on for me to make sense of. Cheers brother. 👍

the es-339 is an older sound, daft description but it does, it is an adult grown up tone. the coupe is more energetic impatient. to my ears that is what came to mind sorry. both good but there is a difference.

You could make a cigar box guitar sound great

I really like that Casino Coupe!

Es 339 pro absolutely badass

Just to add, my son and I have had our Casino Coupe for 12 months now and it's held up well, build quality is solid. Interestingly, we have the same amp as Jack here - DSL 40C Vintage Marshall and it works well with the Casino apart from if you get too close when it will feedback madly (hollow body) - JL managed to make use of it :) We looked at both these two guitars and I must admit I wanted the 335 / 9 because of the Chuck Berry / Clapton / Oasis thing, but we also love the Beatles and one thing that doesn't come out here is that you can get George's early jangly tones quite easily on the Casino without any effects. Been looking again recently at the Epiphone 335 / 9 Pro in cherry red :) at approx $550 in England, its a steal. I might have to chase that Bluesbreaker sound after all but the Casino is a keeper now.

Excellent video! I love the sound of both, the P90's sound great on the Casino. I own an Epi ES-339, and I think in a blind test, you can barely tell the difference between the Gibson.

The second someone with a guitar channel doesn't know the difference between "coil tap" and "coil split", or thinks they're interchangeable terms for the same thing, they're done. When you use the push/pull pot on a guitar to engage "coil splitting", you are turning off half of the humbucker, effectively "splitting" the two single coils it consists of into one single coil pickup. When you use the switch to "coil tap" a single coil, you are activating an actual "tap" into the coils of that single coil to change the rating on it by reducing the number of windings - for example taking a pickup rated at 13.6 down to a 9.2. To me it's the equivalent cringe of someone calling a Honda Civic a truck. Yeah, they're kinda similar in that they both have four wheels and such, but a Civic isn't a truck. (Technically you can tap a humbucker, but I've seen one single application of it since I started playing guitar back in '82, and it was a gimmick on an off-brand Les Paul copy that no one had bought yet. That one stayed on the wall during my visit to that store.)

There are two models of the Pro, this one and the p90 model

Which do you think would be better for solo jazz work like chord melody?

Probably the Coupe. Its fully hollow so its more inline with a jazz archtop and the p90s have a nice airy snap to them.

@@JackFossett It's a 2 year old thread but you sold me this guitar man. Needed an affordable hollow body for some jazz practice.

Can anyone tell me the difference between the "epiphone sunbrust ES 339 pro" and the "epiphone sunbrust ES 339 pro VS". I'm confused! XD

there isnt any.VS means the color which is in this case vintage sunburst.there is a model called 339 ultra.that model has an autotuner build in and the nanomag pickup,which enables you to go acoustic.i have a 339 pro and im very satisfied. bye

VS means "vintage sunburst" - probably the same as "sunburst" - maybe earlier iterations left off the word "vintage"?

What strings are using on the 339.. .10 or .11?

Nice.

Why can’t you just play the guitars clean with no pedals so we can hear what they sound like. Are you demoing the guitar or showing off your playing?

There's clean playing starting at around 2:50 with each guitar and each pickup setting! Varying back and forth between clean and overdriven because alot of players, myself included, enjoy both. We aim to please everyone here at Jack Fossett & Friends ~

Jack Fossett you can add the right combination of effects to make a distorted Tele sound like a distorted les Paul. You cannot make a clean Tele sound like a clean Les Paul. I am asking for more of the sound I can’t change and less of the sound I can. I and I would hope others would prefer to hear the clean essence of the instrument, that’s why we buy different guitars.

@@acrscott No, I don't agree with that at all. You can definitely make a tele sound similar to a Les Paul clean, and using overdrives doesn't erase a guitar's character. I used a basic overdrive and reverb on identical settings for each, that in no way manipulates either guitars' character in an indiscernible way - in fact I think they both sound very unique with the overdrive. The 339 is extremely common for blues and rock, and the Casino (albeit its big brother) was made famous by the Beatles & Stones -- all of which calls for at least basic overdrive, if not even heavier, along with clean.

Each to his own I guess, I play a Gibson 339, true Les Paul Jr, Strat and Tele for the sound of each one. I’m clean into a 5F6A amp. Other than a bit of delay and/or reverb that’s it. I do like your playing👍🏻. I will keep watching just a little more of just guitar tones please?

nice if u made a coment

What happened to the dreaded "E" on the 339 pickguard?

Just a replacement. I don't like that extra stuff, basic pickguards do it for me.
