      Epiphone Limited Edition Emperor Swingster Royale Electric Guitar (H64924)
Availability:  


Outclasses other hollowbody guitars in its price range.

The 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 it's 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!

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.

But wait... there's MORE!
Unlike some, Epiphone spares no expense by adding a "pinned" Tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles for smooth operation and accurate return to pitch, which is preferred when using a vibrato.

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. If you're ready for a professional guitar with unique features and a killer price tag, swing into a Limited Edition Emperor Swingster Royale today.

  • Great Guitar

    As reviewed by Ron Yancey on 5/25/2011

    Can't say enough about manager & sales person from the GC located in Dayton, Ohio. The guitar is superb for this price range. Built like a tank & worth upgrade if I so choose. Definitely a swingster style guitar. I finger pick & this guitar is perfect for that. I haven't picked my Martin up since I bought the Swingster. Got about 4 distinct on board tones. Dead on tuning & beautiful to look at. The overpriced name brand guitars need to stop. This guitar will please any professional @ a price a musician can afford. The lifetime limited warranty serviced by Gibson will give you peace of mind. Thanks again to manager Jason & sales person Steve Rose for their superb customer service.

  • Impressive Guitar

    As reviewed by J. K. McClain on 7/6/2011

    The free shipment from GC arrived quickly, 2 business days. There are some great, some good and some not so good things about the Swingster. To keep it simple here is what I found. Finish-Outstanding, but there was a small scratch on the back. Not a big deal but still, not expected right out of the box. Intonation-Almost dead on. Action-Not bad but swapped the hvy stock strings for some Power Slinkys and lowered the bridge. Now slick and fast. Neck-feels a little more beefy that that on my Casino but really nice. The fret dressing was outstanding. Machine heads-The Grovers are excellent and accurate. Bigsby-The wire arm was very loose. Had to remove the spring, tighten and reseat. The function of this vibro bar is average at best. Pickups, bridge and controls-Love the pickups and the coil splitting provides some wonderful tone possibilities. The pickups have plenty of power, more than I expected. The bridge works perfect with the Bigsby, stays in tune. The sound-Exceeded my expectations. Full with sustain. Works for crunch to country. Watch out for feedback using a high-gain amp or settings. What bugs me-The fret marker dots on the neck are invisable. They are white and get lost in the gold sparkle inlay that encompases the body and the neck. What was Epi thinking here??? Going to have black dot markers installed by a luthier. Conclusion-Overall the guitar is well worth the price and I am happy with my purchase. The overall rating should be a 5 but the 4 given here is the result of a knuckle head decision to go white on the fret markers. Everthing else is great.

  • Beyond Expectations!

    As reviewed by John Rossi on 4/28/2011

    I have my swingster for a week now. Can't put it down. The pictures don't do it justice. One of the most attractive guitars I have ever seen. Playability is superb. Quality is top shelf. I have owned Gibson, Les Paul Custom and ES-335 in the past. The variety of tones you get out of this make it very versatile for gigging. It is worth every penny. If you purchase one of these, I don't think you will be sorry.
