    I like the smaller body these have. I'll need to check them out in person. I've been wanting an Epiphone price level semi-hollow, but haven't bonded with the past Epiphone Dot's, etc.

    I'm GASing for something with TV Jones type pickups, like a Gretsch or Reverend, so I can hold off on the semi Epiphones (I hope!).

    It's a bummer that Epiphone decided to price the 339 so obviously higher than the Dot. Not that it'll stop anybody from buying one, but we all know that one costs no more than the other to make.

    You didn't read the specs then. Smaller body and coil tapped humbucking pickups. I do like my Viking but it's a really large body compared to what I'm used to. I wont part with the Viking, but if these check out to be as cool as they should I certainly wouldn't mind having one.

    I did read the specs. A smaller body was not different enough for me. Coil taps could be cool I guess, but still not enough. You, however, may need to still further diversify your quiver!

    Like Spud needs any excuse... In fact, the only mystery left is which color he'll choose!

    Tig - This is the Epi that caught my eye recently - also just came out recently, I think... Might this fit the bill? It has a lot of pickup selection options/combinations - humbucker or single coil splits...

    Yep, the Swingster is really cool! The first run had quality issues reported, but I believe that has changed since.

    For the same price range I'll be looking at a Reverend with Revtron pickups. The quality of craftsmanship and electronic gives Reverend an edge.

    I saw a friend of mine tonight out at our weekly jam and he had one of the Epi 339's in red. His wife got it for him for Christmas.

    I have had Epiphones before and always liked them. When I saw the 339 PRO I decided I really would like to get one. Its on back-order so I will have to wait awhile. Oh and I found it online for $399 no tax or shipping so I pulled the trigger.

I think it takes a little time, some adjustment of pick up height, learning how to EQ your amp to get the best out of an unfamiliar guitar, etc. He's a good player and I have no doubt that once he gets it dialed in the guitar could put a big smile on your face

    I have an Ibanez AM73, a smaller version of the AS series, which is very comfortable to play and sounds great.

    Hey I'll be happy to post up my thoughts on the 339 when it gets in Spudman. I just hope the wife ain't around when the FedEx truck rolls up!

    Tig, I am a big fan of Reverend Guitars. I snagged a Red Jetstream (P90 pups) off ebay. Its a killer and I love the bass rolloff knob.
