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.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions.
