150th Anniversary Wilshire
Here to Rock the Celebration
Introducing the limited edition Epiphone 150th Anniversary Wilshire. This hard-rocking guitar was created in celebration of Epiphone’s 150th anniversary. From its introduction in 1959, the Wilshire has been one of Epiphone’s most successful original solid body electric guitars. This special anniversary version features an asymmetrical-style Wilshire double-cutaway mahogany body for outstanding upper fret access, a mahogany neck with a comfortable 60s SlimTaper™ D profile, and an Indian laurel fretboard with dot inlays. The headstock is the popular “Batwing” style, with Wilkinson® six on a plate inline tuners with metal buttons. The electronics feature a pair of made-in-the-USA Gibson™ Mini Humbuckers™ that are wired to CTS™ potentiometers and a Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch and output jack. The included 150th Anniversary Historic Hardshell Case features nickel hardware and an Epiphone 150th Anniversary logo.
