The Epiphone ES-339 Pro Pelham Blue is a handy semi-hollow electric guitar with slimmer and more agile body contours to meet the needs of solid body guitar players in terms of handling and feel. Accordingly, the guitar is based on the legend from Kalamazoo and offers a true-to-original construction featuring a laminated maple body with a solid center block. In addition to high-quality LockTone hardware and Epiphone Deluxe tuners, the Epiphone ES-339 Pro is equipped with in-house Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, which deliver warm and juicy PAF sounds in both positions. Thanks to the option of coil-splitting via push/pull pots, the ES-339 Pro delivers clear and airy single-coil sounds.

I've read about 100 reviews on this very guitar before purchasing. And after finally purchasing it, I can recommend this guitar. It is amazing for the price:
Mine had no problems with finish: no "4-year old painted f-holes", no sharp fret edges, no buzzing after minor adjustments, beautiful body with grain and neck with "flamy like" fret board. Pickups are not great but they're really good. I got the ooutput better with lowering the strings for better action. Coil splitting is an addition to some, but I don't really like it. Maybe because I don't need it.
Action and the strings that came with it were awful, but I tend to switch and adjust them in any guitar. String height is easily adjusted on the bridge-end, also truss rod adjustment works as it should.
The "E" -sign fell of the plate immediately after unpacking, but I prefer it this way. So this is plus too!
For the price it is very nice looking guitar which should have hard case, so I recommend to get that too.

I couldn't lower the action as mush as I wanted so I suppose a fret job is required but nevertheless it's a great guitar, it looks fabulous and it sounds great. Perfect to play Jazz, Blues, Rock and hard rock (perfect to play AC/DC!). Not too mentioned the price is great. I had a Gibson LP before but I prefer this one. Yes, I love it.
