Product information

Product no: 9000-0058-5805

General

The semi-acoustic Epiphone Kat has been picked up and praised by guitarists favouring a wide range playing styles. The Uptown version is a deluxe-feeling archtop with a fresh finish and ES-style aesthetics mounted with two mini-humbuckers. This pair of blade-style ProBucker FB720 pickups deliver solid Alnico II tone that was only previously attainable with a solid-body Firebird from the mid-'60s.

The Uptown Kat ES: Stable and Endlessly Versatile

The 5-ply laminate body-parts of the Kat ensure a stable construction that frames enhanced resonance and fuller character of sound, while the spruce centre-block removes the fear of any of the unwanted feedback expected from standard semi-acoustics. A set of Grover Rotomatic machine heads, a Graphtech string nut and an Epiphone LockTone bridge combine to maintain the outstanding tuning stability of the Uptown Kat and finish a tonally versatile guitar that can comfortably turn its hand to anything from straight-up rock, to nostalgiac rockabilly and all the way to retro indie.

Super blij met deze gitaar. Goed geluid met en zonder versterking. Mooi slank wat ik prettig vindt aan deze gitaar. Fijn bespeelbaar instrument.
