Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II 2 Pro Electric Guitar, Wine Red plus guitar stand, clip-on tuner and strap.Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II 2 Pro Electric Guitar, Wine Red with Accessories Main Features Select Spruce top Laminated flame maple back and sides Probucker pickups Colour: Wine Red (WR) Guitar stand, tuner and strap included.
The Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO is a true archtop guitar with classicbracing and features Epiphone's critically acclaimed new ProBucker™ pickups with coil-splitting plus the new Graphtech® NuBone XL™ nut.
During his long career, Joe Pass's advanced harmonic knowledge and seemingly endless well of melodic ideas made him the premier accompanist for the top singers and soloists in the world of jazz including Les McCaan, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, and Milt Jackson. The new Joe Pass Emperor II PRO is a fitting tribute to Joe, who was a great inspiration and friend to Epiphone and guitarists throughout the world.A True Archtop
The Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO is a true archtop with a Select Spruce top and classic 'arch' for optimum tone. The back and sides are made from Laminated Flame Maple and the Emperor-II PRO is finished in Wine Red. The top also has a bound 'tortoise' style pickguard shaped to the House of Stathopoulo's unique profile along with our signature metal 'E'.
3-Piece Laminated Neck
The Emperor-II PRO has a hand-set 3-piece laminated hard Maple neck with a Rosewood fingerboard that has beautiful pearloid block inlays, 20 medium jumbo frets, and is topped off with the Epiphone-vintage style 'tree of life' design seen on the best Epi archtops since the late 1930s. The Emperor-II PRO features the new Graphtech® NuBone XL™ nut that is as hard as bone but will last a lifetime. Graphtech moulds and engineers each NuBone XL™ nut for consistent tone and string balance as well as precise string spacing.
ProBucker Humbuckers
The Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO gets its name from the new critically acclaimed ProBucker™ pickups.
The first generation of humbuckers (often called 'Patent Applied For' for the tell-tale sticker found on the back of the pickups) were made at the Epiphone/Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan in the late 50s and have acquired a mythical status among guitar players. Epiphone ProBucker pickups have that elusive tone because they are made with the same alloy as the originals--18% Nickel Silver unit bases and covers--along with Sand cast Alnico II magnets and high quality 4-conductor lead wire. Each ProBucker pickup is also vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonics.The Emperor-II PRO has a ProBucker-2™ in the neck position and a slightly hotter ProBucker-3™ in the lead position. Both pickups also have coil-splitting via their individual volume controls. Coil-splitting allows a player to turn a humbucker pickup into a single-coil pickup for endless tone combinations. The Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO also sounds great unplugged and at low volume for players who strive for those classic horn-like tones like Joe Pass played.Each ProBucker pickup's volume and tone are attenuated by Top Hat control knobs with metal inserts--spaced slightly farther apart than on a typical archtop--and a 3-way pickup selector with an ivory-coloured toggle cap.Epiphone-tough Hardware
The Emperor-II PRO has rock solid nickel hardware in elegant gold and a vintage styled gold scroll tailpiece, a design inspired by vintage Kalamazoo-made archtops. The Emperor-II PRO is strung at the factory with Joe Pass-approved DiAddario® 10-46 gauge strings. And setting the intonation for the Emperor-II PRO is easy with a floating Rosewood bridge with thumbwheels for quick height adjustment.
The Emperor-II PRO has Grover™ Rotomatic™ 18:1 ratio machine heads for fast, accurate, and worry-free tuning. The black and white truss rod cover has an elegantly lettered, 'Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO' in white.
