General
Epiphone's Emperor is a legendary archtop model and this Swingster version is perfect for playing styles like jazz, country, rock and rockabilly. It has a spruce top with a maple back and sides. The neck is made of maple too and the fretboard has a radius of 14 inches. The 'Clipped Ear' headstock features the Epiphone trademark and has a beautiful pearloid 'vine' inlay. There's a 'Pinned' Tune-O-Matic bridge with gold saddles and a licensed B30 Bigsby tailpiece with an original-style 'wire' handle so that you can easily add tasteful tone bends to your playing.
Emperor Swingster: Rock Around The Clock
This semi-acoustic guitar is equipped with two Alnico V Swingbucker pickups that deliver warm humbucker tones with a bit more bite. If you want to add more brightness to your sound, simply pull the tone potentiometers up to send single-coil sounds to your amplifier. In conjunction with the 3-way pickup switch and the two volume controls, you'll have a wide variety of tones with which to work. Finally, the top-quality Grover machine heads ensure excellent tuning stability no matter how crazy you go with the vibrato tailpiece.
