Epiphone 1962 Wilshire Re-issue in White
The Epiphone 1962 Re-issue in White is the second in Epiphone’s Custom Historic USA guitars, following the cherry red Wilshire 1962 Re-issuelaunched in January.
Like that model, the white version will be very difficult to get hold of, only 100 are being made. The cherry red Wilshire Re-issue sold out immediately, so you really will have to be quick.
At $4,832 it won’t be on everyone’s shopping list, but it’s sure to be a collector’s item. Made in gibson’s Nashville factory, the 1962 Wilshire re-issue in white has a Peruvian Mahogany body and glued-in set neck. Its rosewood fretboard has 22 frets with pearloid dot inlays, and the headstock is set at 17 degrees with three Vintage Kluson machine heads on each side.
The pick-ups are soapbar P-90s with adjustable pole pieces and there’s a three-way selector switch with volume and tone controls for each pick-up.
In addition to a fantastic guitar, lucky owners will get; an original style hard case, numbered certificate of authenticity, vintage-style colied guitar cord, commemerative picks, a commemerative t-shirt, and a 1962-style thin leather strap.
