Epiphone Crestwood Custom (Tremotone) Solidbody Electric Guitar - Cherry

The Epiphone Crestwood Custom celebrates a pioneering early electric guitar design. Back in the day, the Epiphone Crestwood Custom shared the factory floor with Gibson’s now-historic instruments at Gibson’s Kalamazoo, Michigan, factory. Like its siblings, the Epiphone Coronet and the Epiphone Wilshire, the Crestwood Custom has the soul of a garage rocker, evoking the subversive sound of bands like The 13th Floor Elevators, ? & the Mysterians, and MC5. This contemporary incarnation features all the hallmarks of the original design: a symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body, a set mahogany neck, two-vintage-voiced mini humbuckers, and a slick Tremotone vibrato tailpiece. Still, this is a fully modern machine with top-notch appointments, including high-quality CTS pots, a Graph Tech nut and saddles, a reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock with an Epiphone Bikini badge, and a lightning-fast 12-inch-radius fingerboard. Guitarists at Sweetwater have been clamoring for a re-release of this cult classic. Now that it’s here, we can’t keep our hands off of it!
