Epiphone Emperor Swingster, Black Aged Gloss Epiphone

Dressed to the nines with no particular place to go.

Epiphone’s Emperor Swingster is a masterful hollowbody. From jazz to blues, country to rock, the Emperor Swingster does it all and with definitive class.

A five-ply layered maple body and mahogany neck place this hollowbody comfortably in the arms. This construction, combined with a pair of Epiphone SwingBucker pickups, make this guitar resonant and glorious. Beyond usual hollowbody humbucking tones, each volume control features a push/pull switch built in to provide series/parallel switching for each pickup. Tonally, the sound of the Emperor Swingster clicks with anyone’s playing style.

Functionally, this guitar is equipped with a LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge mounted on a pinned wooden base. This bridge, paired with a licensed Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a wire handle, gives power to the player to pitch bend to their heart’s content.

Like a fine tuxedo, the Emperor Swingster is timeless and always ready for a night on the town. Turn it up or mellow it out, Epiphone’s masterful hollowbody looks and sounds good just about anywhere.
