The Epiphone Emperor Swingster injects twangy, vintage character into a classic design. Epiphone based the Emperor Swingster around the body and neck of the venerable Emperor-II (made famous by jazz master Joe Pass), added a dedicated pair of humbucking pickups, and installed a parallel/series wiring scheme that gives you a range of outstanding tones. From rich and smoky to defined and snappy, the Emperor Swingster makes a first-class musical companion for jazz, blues, rockabilly, country, and rock alike. This hollowbody electric guitar's Tune-o-matic bridge ensures rock-solid stability; a licensed Bigsby vibrato infuses your playing with vintage-tinged textures. And thanks to a multitude of eye-catching appointments, this instrument looks as amazing as it sounds.
