Full Description

Pair Of Rocking 'SwingBucker' Pickups

The Emperor Swingster is loaded with a pair of Epiphone Swingbucker pickups at the bridge and neck, which deliver plenty of sonic warmth without losing clarity. The SwingBuckers provide a versatile tone that works for a variety of different styles, and with the Push/Pull tone controls you can alter the output to either Parallel or Series for even more tones.

Combination Of Tonewoods

The Emperor Swingster delivers beautifully bright tones with its combination of lightweight tonewoods. The maple back and sides offer a well balanced sound with exceptional sustain, and a clear, cutting tone that has good projection. The maple is topped with spruce which enhances the tone with a broad dynamic range, as well as good clarity for an overall strong and punchy sound. The neck is also made from bright maple, and it is paired with a rosewood fingerboard which brings soft and warm articulation.
