Read a few of the comments here and its ludicrous to me that some people deem this demo as offensive to the heritage of a Gibson ES series guitar for playing anything other than blues or jazz.If anything this demo only goes to show just how versatile this particular Gibson is.Maybe a few people need to be a little more open mined to the possibilities hidden within any guitar personally I buy guitars for tone these day,and not because they look right in a given music genre.
@eminmo The pickups in the es-339 are not high gain, or high output pickups. They're meant for the low distorted blues/jazz tone, EMG's for example are high gain pickups, the distortion sounds changes from pickup to pickup, so a highgain pick-up will have a better metal sound, than a low gain
@andr4681 Define "metal sound" Since when do you need high-gain pick-ups for metal. There are many metal subgenres using crunchy and beefy sounds and sounding like the meanest heaviest shit from hell.
@eminmo and as you can hear in the video, the guitar sound is really bad. If i had an es-339 i'd never play it like that, or make it sound like that. Poor instrument
It's actually a good guitar. But I felt nothing when he plays.....shit..
fast is not everything. ES 339 is not used to play like this. don't waste it.

Combines the best sonic performance features of the Les Paul and the ES-335.
quote from gibson themselves.

@gillyzoom Agreed!!
I wonder if people think I'm a jerk, and talk smack about me being "undeserving" when I break out my jackson SL1 and play slow blues....
guitars are for making music. period.

You should really consider using different distortion or drive sounds for different guitars, this does not fit the guitar at all
