Epiphone's "Inspired by Gibson" ES-339 is designed for those seeking the tone and look of an ES-335, but in a slightly smaller, lighter instrument. The hand-rolled C-shaped mahogany neck reminds players where it all started. A pair of Epiphone Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers showcases the versatile Gibson ES tone that players have craved for over 60 years.

A Fender Stratocaster, specifically a Mexican-made model from 2018, in a red and black color scheme would likely be a model from the Player Series, as this was the main line of Mexican-made Fender guitars in 2018. The "Player Series" offered a wide range of color options, including those with red and black highlights. Additionally, the "Player Series" was known for its affordable price point, making it a popular choice for aspiring and experienced guitarists.
