The Ebony fingerboard has a 12" radius with Pearloid "Block" inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets. The classic "V" headstock has Pearloid "Split Diamonds" with the now-famous 60s era Epiphone logo.

Controls are classic Black "Top Hats" with metal inserts and include individual volume pots for each pickup and a master tone control.Classic Epiphone Hardware: Brent chose Epiphone's legendary rock solid nickel hardware including a 1/4" Epiphone Heavy-Duty output jack with a 3-layer jack plate (Black/White/Black), a LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge, and a Traditional "V" tailpiece with a classic string-thru body design.
