General
Epiphone's Joe Pass Emperor-II Pro Signature Archtop is a semi-acoustic model that's perfect for jazz guitarists of all levels. It's equipped with Alnico II ProBucker pickups that are made with the same alloy as the legendary originals and deliver the same classic PAF sound. There's a ProBucker-2 in the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker-3 at the bridge to give you a bit of extra oomph whenever you need it. The sound of a single-coil pickup is readily available too due to the fact the volume potentiometers feature a push/pull function that splits the coils.
Joe Pass Emperor-II Pro
Thanks to the maple body and neck, this archtop produces exactly the right amount of definition whether you're playing individual notes or chords. The SlimTaper C neck profile is comfortable in the hand and gives that classic '60s 'jazzbox' feeling. The playing comfort is further enhanced by the rosewood fretboard's 12- inch radius and the 24.75-inch scale length. Other notable features on this Joe Pass Emperor Signature model are the Grover Rotomatic machine heads and the Graph Tech Nu Bone XL string nut that both ensure excellent tuning stability.
