Epiphone Wilshire P 90 Electric Guitar, Ebony

Rock-Solid Construction

From its first appearance in 1959 the Wilshire™ has been one of Epiphone’s most successful original solid body electric guitar designs. The Wilshire P-90 brings back many of the features of the earliest Wilshire models including the symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body with dual PRO P-90 Soapbar pickups, three on a side reduced sized Kalamazoo headstock with Epiphone Bikini badge and ivory button Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines, and a butterfly tortoise shell pickguard with foil E logo. The Wilshire P-90 comes equipped with a glued-in mahogany neck with a medium C profile, Indian laurel fretboard with 12″ radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, 2 volume and 2 tone controls and an Epiphone LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, and is available in classic Cherry and Ebony finishes.

Epiphone PRO P-90 Soapbar Pickups

Boasting an all-Mahogany construction, the Epiphone Wilshire P-90 projects a potent voice that’s rich in lows and sizzling with mid-range, while the glued-in neck joint guarantees long, piano-like sustain. The medium “C”-shaped Mahogany neck is comfortable for contemporary and traditional players alike, with a smooth Indian Laurel fingerboard and 22 ‘Medium Jumbo’ frets offering a controllable feel under the fingers. The Epiphone Wilshire P-90, as its name suggests, is highly-distinctive for its powerful P-90 pairing. Delivering super-punchy tones that are perfect for punk, classic rock and even blues styles; these pickups possess all of the aggressive mid-range and subtle compression that decent P-90s should have!

Genuine CTS Pots
Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup make on-the-fly sonic adjustments easy, and allow you to attain a wide range of sounds. The potentiometers are made by industry-leading electronics company CTS to ensure a lifetime of reliable use. They’ll never let you down onstage! Epiphone could have easily fitted its reimagined Wilshire P-90 with modern appointments, but they wanted to retain the spirit of the original by installing vintage-style hardware; for that truly nostalgic look. Sporting ivory-button Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a butterfly tortoiseshell pickguard with foil “E” logo – this 21st Century Wilshire P-90 doesn’t forget any of its essential late ’50s roots. The LockTone bridge and tailpiece components are perhaps the only contemporary enhancements. With these high-quality pieces of hardware, you can expect rock-solid tuning stability and fast, stress-free string changes thanks to their practical locking design.
