While waiting for a Gibson 339, I bought a cheap epi version and it's got a Slimtaper "D" that I find a little thick compared to my LP and Gibson 390 (390 is Taylor-slim).



I also wanted to know why some 330 Studios have 2 vols and tones, while others are limited to 1 each. I have a LP studio ('93) and the only differences back then were binding and bling.



While I'm a fan of the smaller body 339/390, I'm sure you'll love the 335 - it's most peoples' keeper.

I saw the 2017 studios (both 335 and 339) have Traditional ‘C’ necks, while the 2016s had Soft ‘C’. Do you know what Soft ‘C’ means?

All Studio models prior to 2016 had 1 tone and 1 volume knob. 2016 and 2017 have 2 each like its older brothers (standard, vintage, etc).

I love the 339 body size as my father-in-law has an Epi Pro. It’s a killer guitar for $400 used..

I have had the bigger 335 body size in the past. It just has never been a Gibson. Hoping the quality far exceeds my expectations.
