(ARCHIVE) Epiphone Wilshire P-90 Ebony 2021
- Description
- Guitarchives
Epiphone Wilshire P-90, black, made in China 2021. The Wilshire is an Epi original shape, dating back to 1959. This version gets the sensible combo of a tune-o-matic/stoptail bridge and a pair of P90s, which works a trat. The body is nice and light and the neck is slim and easy, so it's easy to get along with. The pickups deliver plenty of punchy attack, so it's great for punk or grunge stuff, with a pleasing snarly snap to it. The black looks cool too, especially with the cool old style logos and whatnot. Do you like it? Wil-shire you do.
