Epiphone Crestwood Custom Tremotone, Polaris White

Full Description

Pristine pickups

Reminiscing the '50s, the Epiphone PRO Mini humbuckers mounted at the bridge and neck demonstrate why this guitar was so popular when it was first released, whilst also appealing to the modern-day guitarist. The 18 Nickel Silver unit bases and covers deliver a crisp and transparent output, perfect for articulation during those crazy solos. Enrich your playing with a glistening, bright tone thanks to the way these pickups bring beautiful high end sparkle. And don't be discouraged by their smaller size, the miniature shape contributes to definition and that well sought-after vintage jangle due to lower iron content in their core. The focus on the upper frequencies, which offers amazing clarity, combined with that gorgeous tinkling jangle, means you can play knowing every note will ring out immaculately. This makes the Epiphone Crestwood Custom Tremotone ideal for a range of playing styles but particularly for those who want to replicate the essence of '50s and '60s rock.

A sturdy bridge

The Crestwood Custom Tremotone also comes equipped with the Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic system, which has remained a reliable favourite over the years when it comes to bridges. Experience incredible precision when adjusting individual strings and show off your tremolos and other playing techniques with ease knowing no string with slip out of tune. It really is the ultimate vibration transfer machine and there's a reason it has stayed an Epiphone staple. The LockTone hardware stays put when you change strings thanks to spring clips that grab tightly onto the posts. But not only is it practical, it also improves the guitar's sound. The small amount of wiggle room provides more sustain, meaning you are left with a fuller tone that offers ample opportunity for shining overtones.

A wondrous duo

Mahogany and Indian laurel. The perfect combination. Mahogany offers the utmost strength and durability that is hard to replicate with any other wood. Now you have the chance to deliver the performance you've always wanted. Don't hold back. It also brings a whole host of tonal qualities that promise to enrich your sound. The enhancement of lower frequencies creates a truly resonant tone that is both immersive and captivating, pairing well with the bright response of the humbuckers. The type of warmth it offers lends itself wonderfully to a gorgeous vintage tone, perfect for those wanting to capture the essence of '50s rock and blues. Even better, mahogany is incredibly durable, so you can be sure the body and neck can take any amount of ferocious playing…

…as can the Indian laurel fretboard. Laurel is similar to rosewood in its practical and tonal qualities, and this is needed for the most frequently attacked part of your guitar. Its ability to soften any piercing frequencies gives a stunning, well-rounded sound. The laurel fretboard also boasts a pristine smooth finish that provides fantastic playability, meaning you can slide and fret as if your fingers are floating on air. Thanks to such a gorgeous fretboard you can be sure to project an even tone that encompasses a range of possibilities. Experience the rumble of lower frequencies and glistening definition of the high end.
