Epiphone McCartney 1964 Texan - Having written and performed Yesterday
on his original 1964 Texan, this is the first guitar Paul McCartney has ever
endorsed! The Limited Run of 250 Montana-built Texans will be sequentially
numbered and will include a custom case and Certificate of Authenticity.
In addition, Sir Paul himself will autograph the sound hole label of each
guitar! With each Epiphone McCartney Texan sold, Adopt a Landmine will receive
a large percentage of the profit. A limited run
of 1,964 Texans, commemorating 1964, the year the Beatles came to America,
will also be manufactured in Japan as part of Epiphone’s prestigious
Elitist series. They will
be sequentially numbered, with custom case and Certificate of Authenticity
and are faithful replicas of Sir Paul’s 1964 Texan, from the matching
grain filler/lacquer finish right down to the 1/8” gap between the back
center strip and the head block – a detail pointed out by Sir Paul
himself.
Masterbilt AJ-500RC - The great tone of the Masterbilt
AJ-500R
Rosewood has been taken to a new dimension with the addition of a solid Cedar
top. It provides a warm, full tone with great volume.
Masterbilt AJ-500RC/12 fret - We have taken the
AJ-500R
and totally redefined it with a vintage V shaped, slotted peg head neck that
joins the body at the 12th Fret. This guitar gives you the look and feeling
of performing on the finest old Dreadnoughts of the 20's and 30's.
Les Paul ULTRA - Epiphone brings a new twist to
this rock guitar icon with the introduction of the new "Les Paul Ultra."
While upon initial inspection it might look the same, it's not. The mahogany
body has strategically placed hollow cavities resulting not only in a lighter
guitar (about 5.5 lbs) but also a more "acoustic" sounding guitar. Additionally,
there is a belly-contour on the back of the guitar that allows it to comfortably
hug your body. Add to that a slightly narrower nut (42mm as opposed to 43mm)
with a very fast, satin finish neck and you've got an "Ultra" friendly instrument
that just feels great!
"I am so excited about this guitar. It is a dream
to play and sounds amazing. I used it yesterday for some score cues and the
weight is perfect. I also love the tone of the body due to the hollow section
inside. It makes for a new, sweeter tone." Nancy Wilson -
Heart.

Paul Custom and then adds a hard maple, unfinished neck for biting tone
and lightening fast feel, EMG HZ pickups for powerful, noise-free tone, chrome
hardware and the orange and black "Buzzsaw" custom graphics. Add it all up
and this is a guitar for the serious player.

Elitist Valensi Riviera P-94 Outfit (with case)
- They have been called everything from the saviors of rock & roll to
the Savior himself! And now, from this critically acclaimed New York band,
lead guitarist Nick Valensi of "The Strokes" lends his name and approval
to the new Epiphone Elitist "Nick Valensi" Signature Riviera P-94. Based
upon Nick's original 1960's Riviera which he fitted with Gibson P-94's to
obtain his unique, signature sound, it's been called "the greatest instrument
never made." The patented Gibson P-94 pickup is a unique combination that
provides the best of both worlds - the classic Gibson P-90 sound in a traditional
humbucker-size housing. The P-94 uses the same enamel coated vintage wire
and Alnico-V magnets as the P-90 and comes in calibrated neck and bridge
models for balanced output. The P-94 has higher output and sustaining qualities
than traditional single-coil pickups giving it plenty of bite when needed,
with enough responsiveness to allow subtle nuances for enhanced dynamics.
Pick one up and you won't be able to put it down! Check out

Dot Studio (New Colors!) - Since it's introduction
in 2004, the
Dot
Studio has proven to be the semi-hollow body choice of no nonsense guitar
players. With straight-ahead looks, simplified control layout and a "HOT"
Alnico Classic pickup in the bridge position, the Dot Studio sets a new visual
and tonal standard for an "ES" guitar. For 2005, we've added the availability
of 3 new "worn" finishes giving the Dot Studio a vintage vibe and worn-in
feel. Pick one up and you'll think you're holding a 40-year old classic.
