Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II videos

It’s been way too long since I posted videos on here, so here are a couple featuring one of may favourite Epiphone guitars, the Joe Pass Emperor II. The Emperor II is a semi-hollow body electric guitar based on Epiphone’s Emperor guitar and named after late jazz legend, Joe Pass.

The Joe Pass Emperor II features a distinctive trapeze tailpiece, twin humbuckers, and a laminated maple body with spruce top. All the hardware, including tailpiece and pick-up covers is gold.

Here’s a video of Joe Pass himself playing this beautiful guitar.

And here’s one of a review of the Emperor II. Unfortunately, about the only comment the reviewer makes is that it’s not as good as a Gibson. D’oh.
