Epiphone Emperor Swingster I have to admit I did a little extra playing on this guitar when I tested it, it is just so danged fun to play.  It is one of the more versatile semi-hollow bodies you will find.  With the series/parallel switching your tonal options are almost limitless, and with the Bigsby vibrato you can tweak your sound just the way you want to express it.This guitar was made a 2nd because of 2 minor finish blemishes.  There is a cloudy area above the strings, and some tiny nicks below the strings.  You can only see them if you are holding the guitar with the light at an angle.  I have included a picture pointing to each area, but they do not show in a picture and no one will ever see them when you are playing.Here is what Epiphone says about the Emperor SwingsterThe Emperor Swingster is our dazzling go-to rockabilly, jazz and rock hollowbody classic. It features Epiphone SwingBucker™ pickups with classic Alnico-V magnets, Grover® machine heads, a LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge, and best of all, a licensed B30 Bigsby® with original style "wire" handle as preferred by "Certified Guitar Player" and legend Chet Atkins.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 NEW SwingBucker™ pickups and a series/parallel electronics switching package that outperforms all others in its class. Specially designed for the SwingsterT, 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. 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, a favorite of legends like Chet Atkins and Merle Travis.Topping it all off are Epiphone's trademark, multi-bound headstock with the classic pearloid "vine" inlay, premium Grover® 14:1 tuners and a multi-bound, 20 fret rosewood fingerboard with block inlay. Gorgeous!Unlike some, Epiphone spares no expense by adding a "pinned" tune-o-matic bridge for smooth operation and accurate return to pitch that is preferred when using a vibrato. **The pictures are of the actual guitar that you will receive**
