Epiphone Thunderbird IV Reverse Bass Vintage Sunburst

This streamlined design is based on Gibson's original shape, with tuning keys reversed for greater functionality. 2 humbucking pickups, volume and tone controls. Alder and maple body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard. Limited lifetime warranty.

Epiphone Sheraton II Electric Guitar
Epiphone Sheraton II Electric Guitar Ebony

The semi-hollow design of the Epiphone Sheraton II Electric Guitar uses a solid center block and hollow "wings" to give it the fat, mellow tone of a jazz guitar and the sustain of a solidbody. Features an arched maple top, back, and rim; laminated maple neck; gold hardware; multiple bound body, neck, peghead, and F-holes; and vine inlay on peghead with mother-of-pearl and abalone fingerboard inlays. Includes two humbucker pickups and separate tone and volume controls. Limited lifetime warranty

Epiphone Elitist 1961 SG Standard Electric Guitar
Epiphone Elitist 1961 SG Standard Electric Guitar

This instrument is made with premium woods, fitted with American pickups and circuitry -- even American-made toggle switches and Grover tuners. They are made at a special factory exclusively devoted to their manufacture of the Elite series where they receive a high degree of hands-on luthier attention. This model represents the SG legacy with distinction. It features a bookmatched mahogany body and is fully American equipped.

Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar
Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar

The Epiphone Casino Electric Guitar is the guitar that put Epiphone on the map. Ever since The Beatles purchased three Casinos back in 1964, this hollow Epi model has taken on a life of its own. Equipped with two vintage P-90 single-coil pickups, the Casino still delivers those Beatlesque tones at a price every player can afford. Made with a select maple body and top with F-holes, trapeze bridge, mahogany neck (24-3/4" scale), neck and body binding, two volume and two tone controls, and parallelogram inlays. Limited lifetime warranty

Jack Casady Signature bass
Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass Guitar Metallic Gold

Deep, articulate tone and classic hollowbody style are the hallmarks of this bass. The maple body, mahogany center block, set maple neck, and rosewood fretboard conspire to create a sweet-playing bass you won't want to put down. Has a single low-impedance JCB-1 humbucker with VariTone control, as well as traditional volume and tone knobs. Pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, body binding, and Jack's signature across the headstock set it apart.

Epiphone Elitist Byrdland
Epiphone Elitist Byrdland Guitar Natural Gold Hardware

One of the all-time most-revered hollowbodies with astounding appointments and peerless tone.

A solid spruce carved top and AAA flamed maple back and sides plus precision craftsmanship and USA humbuckers result in the sumptuous tone of the Epiphone Elitist Byrdland Guitar. Features 24K gold-plated hardware, an ebony fretboard, and a gorgeous flaming-chalice headstock inlay. Easy-play 23-1/2" scale and thinline body.

Epiphone Limited Edition Ripper Bass
Epiphone Limited Edition Ripper Bass Antique Natural

The Limited Edition Ripper Bass brings back a Gibson favorite of the '70s. It is an Epiphone creation with a hard maple body and matching maple neck and fingerboard. The back of the neck has a satin finish for smooth feel while the fingerboard has a high gloss polyurethane finish that will protect it for years. A brass nut has been added to increase sustain. Another new wrinkle is a split-coil, single-coil pickup combination with individual volumes, master tone, and 3-way switching for greater tonal range. A great bass from the past with its unique styling and custom touches that enhance performance.
