Description
The Crestwood was Epiphone’s first solid-body electric guitar. Originally appearing in 1958, a modified version took its place just a year later – the Crestwood Custom. Fast-forward to 2020, and Epiphone has brought this retro rocker back to life with all of its vintage charm still intact – including the dazzling double-cutaway body design!Key features include two Epiphone PRO Mini Humbuckers, the distinctive ‘Tremotone’ tailpiece, a high-quality Graph Tech NuBone nut and a reduced-sized Kalamazoo headstock with striking “Bikini” badge detail.Rock-Solid ConstructionBoasting an all-Mahogany construction, the Crestwood Custom projects a warm and full-bodied sound that’s rich in lows and sizzling with mid-range, while the glued-in neck joint guarantees long, piano-like sustain. The medium “C”-shaped Mahogany neck is comfortable for contemporary and traditional players alike, with a smooth Indian Laurel fingerboard and 22 ‘Medium Jumbo’ frets offering a controllable feel under the fingers.Epiphone PRO Mini HumbuckersThe Crestwood Custom packs a potent pickup pairing comprising two Epiphone PRO Mini Humbuckers. Delivering punchy, mid-heavy tones that are rich in harmonic content, these versatile hum-cancelling pickups are suitable for a range of musical styles – from soulful blues all the way up to modern punk and indie!Genuine CTS PotsIndependent volume and tone controls for each pickup make on-the-fly sonic adjustments easy, and allow you to attain a wide range of sounds. The potentiometers are made by industry-leading electronics company CTS to ensure a lifetime of reliable use. They’ll never let you down onstage!Vintage-Style HardwareEpiphone could have easily fitted its reimagined Crestwood Custom with modern appointments, but they wanted to retain the spirit of the original by installing vintage-style hardware; for that truly nostalgic look. Sporting the iconic Tremotone tailpiece for tasteful vibrato, ivory-button Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a clear butterfly pickguard with white centre stripe and foil “E” logo – this 21st Century Crestwood Custom doesn’t forget any of its essential late ’50s roots.The LockTone bridge is perhaps the only contemporary enhancement, featuring high-quality Graph Tech TUSQ saddles.
