Vintage Correct Parts is proud to offer, for your consideration,
A fantastic
Vintage 1964 Epiphone Wilshire in stunning original Cherry finish!
The Wilshire packs some incredible tone and punch into a light and resonant slab-body. The concept of this guitar is so cool as it's related more SG Standard than Special - but has the distinct advantage of being factory drilled for a stop-tail like a 50's Standard or ES-335. The mini hums in the slab body are a sublime combination. ... more
