DISC Epiphone Worn 66 Wilshire with Tremotone, Worn Cherry

Full Description

The Epiphone 1966 Wilshire Tremotone provides vintage-SG-styled tones with an individual look and playing style. Epiphone brings a versatile new feature to the board with the Limited Edition 1966 Worn Wilshire Tremotone, which is equipped with Epiphone's great, but extremely rare, Tremotone vibrato tailpiece.

For over a decade after Gibson's acquisition of the New York-based Epiphone company in 1957, Epiphone electric guitars and basses were produced right alongside Gibson's classic models in the company's original Kalamazoo factory.

These Epiphone guitars represented some of the highest quality and best sounding instruments of their generation, and were played by Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, Paul Gilbert, Steve Marriot, and all three guitar-playing Beatles.

With that pedigree behind it, the Limited Edition 1966 Worn Wilshire Tremotone delivers its unique tonal mojo and stylish vibe in spades, in a look, feel and sound that are all somehow instantly familiar, yet entirely original. Hand-stained and sprayed in a thin yet durable "worn" urethane finish, the 1966 Worn Wilshire Tremotone also looks and feels like an old and well-played friend the first time you take it out and strap it on.
