With the Epiphone Emperor Swingster Black Aged Gloss, Epiphone sends a classic hollow-body electric guitar into the race, whose tonal metier lies between crisp Nashville pickings, wild rockabilly and traditional rock'n'roll. Here, the laminated maple top and body shape the sound with an airy acoustic timbre, while the glued "slim taper" mahogany neck guarantees comfortable playing characteristics over the Indian Laurel fingerboard. At the guitar amp, Epiphone SwingBuckers promise especially dynamic guitar tones that skillfully capture the timbre of the hollow-body construction and expertly translate every nuance in playing technique. Sound flexibility is also provided by push/pull switches in the volume controls, which can be used to switch each pickup from serial to parallel operation. Classic Hardware in the form of a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with wooden base, a Bigsby B30 vibrato and precise Grover Rotomatic tuners complete the Epiphone Emperor Swingster Black Aged Gloss.
