Epiphone Uptown Kat ES Emerald Green Metallic
Construction
A five-ply maple and poplar combo is the perfect choice of body wood, with two beautifully cut F-holes. Extravagant without being garish. The mahogany neck has been glued into the body for extra sturdiness. Its Slim Taper ‘C’ neck shape is modelled after the Gibson greats and is renowned for its comfort of play. On top is a 12” radius ebony fretboard, making for a classy, quality package in absolutely every department. Hardware appointments include a Graph Tech nut, LockTone ABR bridge and that trapeze tailpiece – an beautiful balance between assured stability and class.
Sound
The Uptown Kat is equipped with two fiery Mini-Probucker FB720 pickups. These bad boys have everyone fooled with their indistinguishable vintage tone. The lows are warm, the sustain prolonged and brightness snappy. They incorporate the same alloy used by Gibson at their Kalamazoo factory – you know you’re getting the best in sound. Match them up with an airy clean tone or crunchier drive for outstanding results.
The little things - all adding up to one fantastic instrument
It goes without saying that sound is the most important aspect of an instrument. But there's so much more that goes into creating a brilliant electric guitar than just the pickups. The Uptown Kat is testament to that. For a start, it gives you a wonderfully smooth playing experience. An ebony fingerboard is sleek beneath your fingertips, while a special slim comfort "C"-shaped neck fits perfectly to the contours of your hand, eliminating cramp.
There are plenty of other features that make this guitar awesome, too. A LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge gives your strings perfect intonation, while Grover rotomatic tuners keep your tuning flawless. There's a top quality GraphTech nut for supreme sustain. And you only need to quickly glance at this remarkable instrument to see that it's a work of art - a stunning emerald green metallic finish is classy and will stand out anywhere. This is an instrument with quality in every department.
