OK, FIRST!The factory specs on this Epi CUSTOM SHOP guitar!FACTORY DESCRIPTION:Epiphone Limited Edition Emperor Swingster Royale Electric Guitar Pearl White from the Custom ShopThe Epiphone Limited Edition Emperor Swingster Royale Electric Guitar that outclasses other hollow-body guitars in its price range! World famous for making some of the best and most innovative hollow-body guitars, Epiphone conjures up some of its past with the Emperor Swingster. Starting with the same body and neck as used on their Emperor-II guitar and made famous by the jazz master himself, Joe Pass, Epiphone swings into action and turns it into a serious twangin', rock-a-billy slingin', country flingin' machine! Case sold separately.Classic Construction with SwingBucker Pickups! With it's hand-scalloped arched spruce top combined with a laminated arched-back maple body and glued-in 3-piece hard maple neck, the Swingster has what it takes to satisfy any professional's demand for great tone. At the heart of the guitar are Epiphone's SwingBucker pickups and a sophisticated series/parallel electronic switching package. Specially designed for the Swingster, the humbuckers offer no hum performance and feature classic Alnico-V magnets, enamel wire and over-wound coils for the perfect combination of warmth and bite. Series/Parallel Switching. Two push/pull Tone controls allow you to change each pickup's output individually from parallel to series wiring creating a palette of useful sounds to tap into ranging from warm humbuckers to "quacky" single-coil type sounds and everything in-between. Of course, any swinging machine needs a vibrato and the Swingster is no exception featuring a Bigsby Licensed B30 with original style "wire" handle as preferred by "Certified Guitar Player" and legend, Chet Atkins. Loads of Bling Topping it all off are Epiphone's trademark, multi-bound headstock with the classic mother-of-pearl "vine" inlay, premium gold Grover tuners and a multi-bound, 20-fret rosewood fingerboard with block inlays. And Epiphone stands behind every guitar they make with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and Gibson 24/7/365 Customer Service.

I figure if you're here, you already know what an awesome guitar this is! =red>But now you have all you need to know except MY personal review!

I can tell you this is a simply KILLER instrument! 
I used to own a Gretsch White Falcon. Because it was such an expensive guitar when I bought it, I never played it! But I LOVED the look and I LOVED the tone and playability. So when Epi released THIS guitar, with an almost IDENTICAL "Rockabilly" look, I knew I had to try one!! I bought not one but TWO.....after buying the first one and seeing how awesome it is, I bought another and put it in my "mint" collection and made sure it stayed that way!! 
So this is that guitar!
 It is UN-PLAYED and in BRAND NEW condition!! 
My other example, which got played a LOT, will stay with me, since it's already got signs of wear. But this one is PERFECT! So if you've been searching for "THE ONE"....well.....THIS IS THE ONE!

AND, unlike most of these you'll see, THIS ONE comes with a genuine Epiphone Hard Shell Case!

I'm going to list this fantastic guitar at a crazy low "Buy It Now" 
AND I will also enable the "Make Offer" function so you can make a FAIR and REASONABLE offer! 
Who knows....I might just take it!
