PRESS RELEASE – WINTER NAMM 2005

Sister act

We know what you’re thinking. You couldn’t play that thing down at The Docker’s Fists. Maybe so – but you’ll struggle to find an electric guitar that grabs an audience’s attention like Epiphone’s new Twisted Sister Les Paul Standard. What did you expect from the signature model of Twisted Sister’s Jay Jay French? Nothing epitomises 80s hair-metal quite like shocking pink…

A limited edition model for 2005, the Twisted Sister Les Paul is part of Epiphone’s Elitist series. It’s based on the premium Elitist Les Paul Standard (and features the same build quality, comfort and styling), but strays from the design with several twisted flourishes. As with the Ultra Les Paul the Twisted Sister model also shaves a stoop-correcting scoop from the back of its body. In addition to the band’s bone logo on the headstock and Jay Jay French’s signature on the truss rod cover, you’ve also got a pair of Gibson USA Burstbucker pickups – perfect for delivering the searing riffs and dynamic response that characterised Twisted Sister’s reign of terror – and a free case to protect it from the rigours of touring. Throw in the Twisted Pinkburst finish and you’ve got a guitar that’ll hold any crowd in the palm of your hand. And that’s even before you’ve plugged it in…
