Epiphone’s new-product announcements are continuing apace – after unveiling new versions of the Coronet, Wilshire and Crestwood earlier this week, the company has released affordable ‘Inspired by Gibson’ ES-335 and ES-339 models.

As you’d expect, the two models capture the essence of Gibson’s classic semi-hollow designs at a more affordable price point, in both the original 335 body proportions and the downsized 339.
