Description

The Epiphone Emperor Swingster™ is a way-cool guitar that excels in a wide range of genres, including jazz, blues, rockabilly, country, and rock. This hollowbody has a 5-ply layered maple body, mahogany neck with a comfortable and fast-playing SlimTaper™ profile, Indian laurel fretboard with block inlays, mother of pearl Epiphone and Tree of Life inlays on the large Clipped Dove Wing headstock, Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines, and two Epiphone SwingBucker™ pickups, each with a dedicated volume and tone control. Push pull switches are built into each volume control to provide series parallel switching for the pickups, and along with the 3-way toggle pickup selector switch, give you a broad selection of tonal options. The LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge is mounted on a pinned wooden base so it won t move out of place when you use the licensed Bigsby® vibrato with wire handle. Available in Forest Green Metallic with gold hardware, or Black Aged Gloss and Delta Blue Metallic finishes with nickel hardware.

Hail the hollowbody. It s loved by guitarists around the world for a reason. Boasting a louder, fuller resonance than its solid body counterparts, it will make your riffs ring with warmth and volume. Also light in weight, it will prove easy to transport and carry around stage – you can really put on a performance with it. And you ll find that the figured maple top not only looks stunning, but also adds a touch of brightness to the hollowbody s sound for added punch.

Get your riffs in full swing. The pair of SwingBucker humbuckers loaded into this beauty erupt with rich, punchy tones. They have more than enough output for rock, or can be dialled back for sweet vintage voicings – they re ultra dynamic.

And they include push pull volume controls for switching between series and parallel operation, so you can diversify your tone even further. Spectacular!
