Epiphone Wilshire P-90s - Cherry

A classic revived. The Epiphone Wilshire P-90 brings back the timeless essence of a legendary model, exuding vintage charm and quality since its inception in 1959. Rooted in simplicity yet primed for the modern stage, this remarkable guitar offers versatility, comfort, and captivating style that musicians demand. Its dual P90 pickups deliver vibrant, articulate tones with a unique blend of crispness and warmth, transcending genres from clean country to fiery rock.

As your fingers explore the Wilshire's expansive sonic palette, they'll glide effortlessly across a luxurious laurel fingerboard. Set atop a "C" shaped mahogany neck, this combination not only ensures exceptional playability but also enhances the instrument's rich, resonant tones. And let's not overlook the stunning vintage aesthetics of the Wilshire, which captivate at first glance. Adorned with a distinctive butterfly pickguard, iconic Kalamazoo headstock, and signature "E" logo, it pays homage to its '50s roots, serving as a timeless reminder of its storied heritage.

Capturing the Vintage Gibson Essence. Back in the 1940s, Gibson introduced the iconic P90 pickup, renowned for its warm twang and crystal-clear clarity. Essentially a beefed-up single coil, this robust pickup offers a perfect blend of brightness, warmth, and enhanced punch. The Epiphone Wilshire boasts two P90 pickups—one at the neck and one at the bridge.

The neck pickup delivers a smooth, warm tone, ideal for nuanced lead lines, while the bridge pickup offers a crisp, fat sound, perfect for robust chords and soaring solos. With a 3-way selector switch and dual volume and tone controls, you have unmatched flexibility over your sound, resulting in a precise, consistent tone that embodies the quintessential Gibson vibe.

Crafted for Optimal Playability. Every aspect of the Wilshire's neck has been meticulously designed to provide an unparalleled playing experience. Featuring a vintage medium C profile, it conforms seamlessly to the contours of your hand, ensuring exceptional comfort across the entire fretboard. Say goodbye to hand cramps as the slick laurel fingerboard facilitates effortless, lightning-fast soloing.

But it's not just about playability—the expertly crafted mahogany neck produces a rich, balanced sound that accentuates the midrange frequencies, while the warm tone of the laurel fretboard adds depth and versatility to your playing.

Vintage Aesthetic Appeal. The Epiphone Wilshire sports a distinctive body shape and finish that sets it apart from the crowd, enhanced by contrasting nickel hardware and sleek black accents. With meticulous attention to detail, including traditional "Dot" fretboard inlays for easy navigation, the true standout feature is the mesmerizing tortoiseshell pickguard, adorned with the iconic foil "E" logo. This guitar exudes vintage charm and style, making it a standout choice for players of all types.
