Epiphone Wilshire
A stunning double cut from Epiphone. The Wilshire is an original solid bodied guitar built by Epiphone since 1959, it shares its body shape with the Coronet and Olympic. A budget instrument initially, the Wilshire has become a favourite among musicians for its light weight and narrow, easy to play neck! Our Wilshire is a 70's model built at the Matsumoku factory in Japan, if you are familiar with the instruments coming out of Matsumoku in the late 70's and 80's then you will know the quality is second to none.

Our old Wilshire has had a life and it shows, there's the odd scratch and ding here and there and plenty of oxidisation to the hardware but it wears it all very well. There's a crack in the veneer (pictured) but this is JUST in the veneer, it does not spread to the rest of the body and is not structural. We've leveled and recrowned the frets ready for another 50 years of service! Freshly set up with a set of Daddario 10's and ready to go!
