Can you tell me which model is more akin to a ES339? The guitar that I've recommended you is beautiful but I did not mind the Bolt on neck, maybe I prefer it so the handle.

les paul neck bolt on,pickups stock I doubt if they sound good, I love the sound of a gibson es 339

Don't be too quick to dismiss the stock pick ups. Taking the price of the kit into account, they produce a very good sound for their cost.

Here's the PBG ES-335 style kit. Unfortunately it only comes with gold hardware, which wouldn't be my choice.

It is not bad sound, you can actually change the pickups later. your guitar in the video? Les Paul model with Bolt on neck that I like this idea, can be great guitar that one day you can do different upgrades

if I had to make a semi-hollow body guitar I'd like something like that is like ES339 measures, a cross between a Les Paul and ES335, however, the kits do not see a type es339 configuration. However it is not ugly ugly hardware and gold would look good on dark colors, I personally would choose between chrome or gold.

No 339 style at the moment. There is a semi-hollow Les Paul in the range which will get closest to the 339 sound if you want a smaller body than a 335 style.
