Epiphone Limited Edition Wilshire Pro Electric Guitar

A cool-looking solidbody with upgraded pickups and electronics.




In 1957 Gibson purchased New York’s Epiphone
Guitar Company and moved production to Kalamazoo, Michigan. With plans
to expand retail distribution by differentiating Epiphone dealers from
Gibson dealers, Gibson began production of a new line of “Kalamazoo-made
and designed” Epiphones in 1959. For over a decade, Epiphone solid body
guitars and basses were produced right alongside Gibsons. These
Epiphone guitars represented some of the highest quality and best
sounding instruments of their generation. They provided unique shapes,
pickup arrangements, and tonal signatures not seen on comparable Gibson
models of the day. Under appreciated at the time of their release,
numerous artists through the years have recognized the unique appeal of
these guitars. Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Paul Gilbert and Steve
Marriot are but a few of the artists that have embraced the tone and
build quality of these Kalamazoo built Epiphones. One such Epiphone
instrument was the Wilshire.

Like an SG guitar, the Wilshire’s
double cutaway mahogany body with a glued-in mahogany neck that joins
the body at the 22nd fret gives you ultimate upper fret access.
Lightweight and comfortable, the Wilshire has excellent resonance and
natural acoustic tone – even unplugged. Featuring Epiphone’s LockTone™
tune-o-matic/stopbar combination, the transfer of string vibration is
improved even more giving this guitar excellent sustain and clarity.

PRO Electronics
Utilizing
Epiphone's 4-wire humbuckers, each volume control is a push/pull
potentiometer that allows you to coil-tap each pickup seperately for
more twangy "single-coil" sound and a wide range of different tonal
combinations.

While 1960's early Wilshires were fitted with
Epiphone's own mini-humbuckers, the new Wilshire PRO harkens back to
Wilshires made in the 1970's and features full size humbuckers. The neck
pickup is Epiphone's Alnico Classic that provides warm and subtle tone
with a full, even response that doesn't hold back when you need that
classic humbucker crunch. An Alnico Classic Plus, which is the perfect
companion to the Classic, is overwound for a slighter higher output
without sacrificing its rich, vintage tone. Both feature Alnico-II
magnets, enamel wire and are double vacuum waxed.

Retro Looks
Also
unique, the Wilshire features Epiphone’s own “batwing” headstock. A
classic design that improves tuning ease and accuracy by offering a
straight string-pull design, the headstock is adorned like the original
with the vintage “Epiphone” logo in gold. Other features include a
1960’s SlimTaper™ neck profile with rosewood fingerboard, premium 14:1
die-cast tuners and individual Volume and Tone controls for each pickup.
