Epiphone - Wilshire P-90s Cherry

The Epiphone Wilshire P-90s Cherry features a symmetrical Wilshire shape, with two identical horns reminiscent of a rock with clean lines on both sides. This double-cut electric guitar, in Cherry with a gloss body finish, features a two-piece solid mahogany body that delivers weighty low-end response without any unnecessary bulk around the neck.

The glued-in mahogany neck has a Medium C profile and houses a double-action truss rod, extending to a scale length of 24.75 inches (628.65 mm). The rosewood fingerboard, set to a 12-inch (304.80 mm) radius, features twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets and dot inlays that mark the position without being visually overwhelming. A 43 mm Graph Tech NuBone nut anchors the strings before they reach a Kalamazoo headstock, featuring just three tuners on each side, in the Epiphone Deluxe style with ivory-coloured knobs.

The P90 pickup configuration features two P-90 PRO Soapbar pickups – one at the neck and one at the bridge, housed under black covers – a choice that harks back to the stages of 1959, the year the Wilshire was born in Epiphone’s New York workshops. The 3-position switch and the two CTS volume and tone controls, operated by black Top Hat knobs with silver inserts, allow the tone to be adjusted from clean to biting before the signal reaches a 6.35 mm jack.

The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece, with nickel hardware, maintain the tension of .010 to .046 strings beneath a binding-free top that retains a clean, unadorned outline. The tortoiseshell-style pickguard, featuring an aluminium ‘E’ logo, completes the front with a vintage touch.

A Premium gig bag accompanies the instrument between gigs, ready for the journey from the rehearsal room to the stage.
