The Epiphone Dot Ultra-339 is one of them. It pairs a pair of ProBucker humbuckers with a Shadow NanoMag acoustic pickup mounted right at the end of the fretboard, and lets you blend or switch between them on the fly. Throw in a built-in chromatic LED tuner and a USB output for direct computer recording, and you've got a guitar that was genuinely ahead of its time when Epiphone introduced it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a reduced-size ES-339 format — about Les Paul-sized in feel, but with that semi-hollow resonance and the classic double-cutaway look. The Pelham Blue finish gives it a retro cool that's hard to ignore. This particular guitar comes with a hardshell case, which is worth noting since cases for this model weren't always easy to track down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've been wanting an ES-style guitar that goes beyond straight electric tones — or you just love the idea of having an acoustic-like option without carrying a second instrument — the Ultra-339 is a genuinely practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Epiphone Dot Ultra-339 is in Good condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech set up prior to shipping. It has a small chip in binding upper bout, normal play wear. Please review the photos carefully for full condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Semi-Hollow Built Around Maple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is laminated maple with a solid center block — the same construction recipe that made the original ES-335 a stage staple for decades. The center block keeps feedback in check and adds sustain, while the hollow wings give you that resonant, open character you don't get from a fully solid body. Classic f-holes complete the look and the acoustic interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is mahogany with a SlimTaper \"D\" profile, glued in via a mortise and tenon joint at a 24.75\" scale length. It's a comfortable, familiar feel — not a chunky vintage baseball bat, not a razor-thin shredder neck. The 12\" radius rosewood fretboard has 22 medium jumbo frets, mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and a 1.68\" nut width that falls right in the traditional range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Pickup Systems in One Guitar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the Ultra-339's electronics are two distinct pickup systems. Up front, you get Epiphone's ProBucker-2 in the neck position and ProBucker-3 at the bridge — both wound to PAF-style specs with Alnico II magnets and nickel silver covers. They're warm, articulate humbuckers with genuine vintage character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second system is the Shadow NanoMag — a low-impedance pickup with active electronics, embedded at the end of the fretboard. It uses three samarium cobalt magnets and an air coil to capture string harmonics and body acoustics, producing tones that sit closer to an acoustic guitar than anything a traditional magnetic pickup can manage. You can run the two systems blended through the mono output, or split them to separate amps or inputs using the stereo output — the NanoMag going one direction, the ProBuckers going the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA USB output rounds out the connectivity options, letting you plug directly into a computer for recording without needing an external audio interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware and Built-In Tuner\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bridge is an Epiphone LockTone Tune-o-matic with a LockTone Stopbar tailpiece — a setup that locks string ferrules in place for better sustain and easier string changes. Tuning stability comes from Wilkinson vintage-style machine heads with tombstone buttons at a 14:1 gear ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne genuinely clever feature: a full-function chromatic LED tuner is built directly into the bridge pickup mounting ring. Hit the on\/off switch and your output mutes automatically so you can tune silently mid-set. Eleven color-coded LEDs tell you the note, whether you're sharp or flat, and when you're locked in. It's a small thing that becomes a big deal when you're on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Laminated maple, semi-hollow with solid center block, classic f-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany, SlimTaper \"D\" profile, glued-in mortise and tenon joint, 24.75\" scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Rosewood, 12\" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, 1.68\" nut, mother-of-pearl dot inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: Epiphone ProBucker-2 (neck) and ProBucker-3 (bridge) humbuckers, plus Shadow NanoMag acoustic pickup at fretboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: ¼\" mono, ¼\" stereo, and USB for direct computer recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: LockTone Tune-o-matic with LockTone Stopbar tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Wilkinson vintage-style, tombstone buttons, 14:1 ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in chromatic LED tuner in bridge pickup ring with auto-mute function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Pelham Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epiphone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dot Ultra-339\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e U-DOT-ULTRA-339-PE|11091502143\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Used\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
