Body and Neck: The Epiphone Emperor Swingster™ features a 5-ply layered maple body that ensures a rich, resonant tone. This construction makes it suitable for a variety of genres, from jazz to rock. The mahogany neck, with its SlimTaper™ profile, offers smooth playability and fast action, enhancing the overall playing experience.

Fretboard and Inlays: The Indian laurel fretboard is adorned with block inlays and mother-of-pearl Epiphone and Tree of Life inlays. These details not only contribute to the guitar’s aesthetic appeal but also provide a comfortable and intuitive playing surface.

Tuning and Electronics: Equipped with Grover® Rotomatic® tuning machines, the Emperor Swingster™ ensures precise tuning stability. It features two Epiphone SwingBucker™ pickups, each with dedicated volume and tone controls. Push/pull switches allow for series/parallel pickup configurations, providing versatile sound options. The 3-way toggle pickup selector further expands the tonal possibilities.

Bridge and Tailpiece: The guitar includes a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge mounted on a pinned wooden base, ensuring reliable performance. The licensed Bigsby® vibrato with a wire handle adds both functionality and style.

Finishes: The Emperor Swingster™ is available in several finishes, including Forest Green Metallic with gold hardware, Black Aged Gloss, and Delta Blue Metallic with nickel hardware. These options provide a classic look with modern touches.
