I took the plunge the other day and bought a 2011 Gibson ES-339. I love it!! I got the "50's style" neck, which reminds me of an early 2000's Bluesbird I had several years ago. What I am loving about this guitar is it's light weight, but it sounds like a solid body. Not as light as a true hollowbody, but more sustain and less feedback - it has the center block like an ES-335, or a Starfire IV.
I don't have access to my camera until a few months from now, but here's a clip of Gibson "propaganda" about the guitar if anyone is interested. Mine is the Antique Cherry finish.

The guitar is very well made, and I assume no "rare woods" were used to make it, so I'm feeling confident the feds will not be at my doorstep any time soon...
