Epiphone Announces September Giveaway

Win a Limited-Edition ES-175 Premium   03-Sep-14

Epiphone continues its 2014 monthly giveaways by offering a chance to win the Limited-Edition ES-175 Premium.

Epiphone President Jim Rosenberg, told us, "Epiphone archtops are world famous and every player looks to owning at least one in their collection. The Limited-Edition ES-175 Premium brings the profile, sound, and look of a classic ES-175 to guitar players around the world, which is great since vintage models are not only four times the price, but no one who owns an ES-175 ever wants to part with it."

Here's what Epiphone has to say...

The Epiphone ES-175 Premium is a faithful recreation of what many consider the most famous electric archtop in popular music, heard on classics from jazz to rock in the hands of pioneers like Joe Pass, Scotty Moore (Elvis Presley), and Wes Montgomery. Epiphone's long history of innovation began with designing archtop guitars. And now, Epiphone steps up its game again with the new Ltd. Ed. ES-175 Premium featuring Gibson USA '57 Classic pickups for superior sound and a vintage-inspired "aged" Lacquer finish that plays like a 50s original at a price anyone can afford.

The first ES-175 was introduced in 1949 as a mid-size, more affordable version of the venerable L-5, the very first modern archtop and the inspiration for the best archtops of the jazz era. The original ES-175 was truly a modern guitar that anticipated a new era of jazz and pop music that was hotter, louder and constantly stretching musical boundaries. The ES-175 was also the first archtop with a Florentine (sharp) cutaway. The new Epiphone Ltd. Ed. ES-175 Premium is just like the original – classy, distinguished and ready to rock. The ES-175 is a fully hollow jazz box that is easy to hold, easy to play and finally affordable with no corners cut.
