Hollow-Body electric guitar with Swingbucker pickups and Bigsby Vibrato
With the Epiphone Emperor Swingster BlackAged Gloss, Epiphone sends a classic hollow-body electric guitar into the race, whose tonal metier lies between crisp Nashville pickings, wild rockabilly and traditional rock'n'roll. Here, the laminatedmaple top and body shape the sound with an airy acoustic timbre, while the glued "slim taper" mahogany neck guarantees comfortable playing characteristics over the Indian Laurel fingerboard. At the guitar amp, Epiphone SwingBuckers promise especially dynamic guitar tones that skillfully capture the timbre of the hollow-body construction and expertly translate every nuance in playing technique. Sound flexibility is also provided by push/pull switches in the volume controls, which can be used to switch each pickup from serial to parallel operation. Classic Hardware in the form of a LockToneTune-O-Matic bridge with wooden base, a Bigsby B30 vibrato and precise Grover Rotomatic tuners complete the Epiphone Emperor Swingster BlackAged Gloss.
The Epiphone Emperor Swingster Black Aged Gloss convinces with dynamic sounds and comfortable playing characteristics.

excellent guitar for the price, I use one for rockabilly and blues numbers and early Beatles and middle of the road numbers never lets me down. The temlo arm is a useful feature as well with split coils on the pickups so you can get that thin sound as well as a fat warm sound.

The Swingster looks soooo good - And it sounds just as good. If you were considering this guitar along side others of similar specifications, look no further. I spent a lot of time researching the Swingster against similar Gretsch models, and came to the conclusion that the Swingster had more 'pros' versus 'cons' than equivalent Gretsch models - And the current price of the Swingster (May 2020), makes the choice a no brainer. Do yourself a favour and get this limited edition model whilst it's at a good price. By the way, Sunrise Orange looks great with the flamed maple....

The guitar bought from dv247 is a superb instrument, and the service was next to none. The price of the instrument was the best price I could find. I would just like to say thank you dv247 for a great buy.
