Gibson Memphis ES-339 - Faded Cherry

House of Guitars® is a locally owned family business that opened in 1964. Music is our passion and we strive to ensure that we meet every customer's highest expectation. As such, we do the following for every transaction:

• Every listing (UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE) goes through a photoshoot to highlight the uniqueness of every instrument
• All guitars go through an inspection and set-up with our professional in-store luthiers to make sure they are in top shape before shipment
• Every package we ship comes extra packed to ensure the absolute safest travel from our store to your hands
• All shipments go out ASAP. Our first priority upon seeing a purchase is getting it out, so expect to see your tracking number the next business day if purchased after 4pm or even the day of if purchased in the morning. Shipments do not get picked up on weekends so if purchased over weekend expect to see it going out Monday
• All of our workers here have a love for music and either are professional, seasoned musicians, or have a degree within the music field, so please give us a call or shoot us a message!

Check out our social media pages to stay in the loop as well to see our old commercials, rock-star visits, cool new arrivals, or just to see what we're all about.
