Description: Epiphone Emperor SwingsterEDIT
The Epiphone Emperor Swingster has the same body and neck as used on their Emperor-II guitar and made famous by the jazz master Joe Pass. However the Swingster is more of a twangin’, rock-a-billy slingin’, country flingin’ machine than it’s Emperor-II cousin.
The Swingster has a hand-scalloped arched Spruce top combined with a laminated arched-back Maple body and glued-in 3-piece Hard Maple neck. At the heart of the guitar are Epiphone’s new SwingBucker pickups and a series/parallel electronics switching package. Specially designed for the Swingster, the humbuckers offer no hum performance and feature classic Alnico-V magnets, enamel wire and over-wound coils for the perfect combination of warmth and bite.
