The aged gloss finish provides a vintage look and feel, while the Grover Rotomatic tuners and Epiphone Tune-O-Matic bridge ensure reliable tuning and intonation.

Each detail of the guitar’s construction reflects the legacy of its predecessors. From the Switchcraft pickup selector and output jack to the CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, it’s made for serious musicians. Additionally, it comes with a vintage-style hardshell case, complete with a tan exterior and pink interior, for safe transport. This guitar offers players the opportunity to own a piece of rock history while delivering modern playability and classic tone.
