The Epiphone Emperor Swingster injects twangy, vintage character into a classic design. Epiphone based the Emperor Swingster around the body and neck of the venerable Emperor-II (made famous by jazz master Joe Pass), added a dedicated pair of humbucking pickups, and installed a parallel/series wiring scheme that gives you a range of outstanding tones. From rich and smoky to defined and snappy, the Emperor Swingster makes a first-class musical companion for jazz, blues, rockabilly, country, and rock alike. This hollowbody electric guitar's Tune-o-matic bridge ensures rock-solid stability; a licensed Bigsby vibrato infuses your playing with vintage-tinged textures.
SwingBucker pickups yield vintage-inflected twang
At the heart of the Swingster are Epiphone's SwingBucker pickups. Specially designed for the Emperor Swingster, these humbuckers offer excellent no-hum performance and feature classic Alnico V magnets, enamel wire, and overwound coils for the perfect combination of warmth, bite, and twang. Guitarists are completely enamored by the one-of-a-kind vintage-inflected twang that can be coaxed out of the Swingster. Once you plug in, it's hard to put it down!
Series/parallel switching, vintage-style vibrato
Two push-pull tone controls allow you to change each pickup's output individually from parallel to series wiring and create a palette of useful sounds. Go from warm humbucker tones to "quacky" single-coil-type sounds and everything in between. Of course, any swinging machine needs a vibrato - and the Epiphone Emperor Swingster is no exception! The Swingster includes a licensed Bigsby vibrato with an original-style wire handle as preferred by guitar legend Chet Atkins.
This Swingster brings the visual bling
Epiphone tops off the great-playing, awesome-sounding Emperor Swingster with visual flair. You get a multi-bound headstock with the classic mother-of-pearl vine inlay, premium Grover tuners, and a multi-bound, 22-fret Indian laurel fingerboard with block inlays.
