Epiphone ES-295 Metallic Gold 1998 Hollow-Body Guitar

Here for sale we have an Epiphone ES-295 Hollow-Body Electric Guitar in Metallic Gold finish. Made in Korea in 1998, this set-neck constructed guitar consists of a Maple body, a Mahogany neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include a Florentine cutaway, a Bigsby Vibrato, vintage-style tuners, and a gold flower graphic pickguard. The pickups that have been installed are a set of Alnico-V P90s that are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. The Mahogany neck plays very well with its SlimTaper ‘'D' shaped profile which fills the hand for a sturdy and dependable grip when chord playing, whilst the flattened area to the centre rear of the neck allows for articulate melodic playing. The Rosewood fingerboard with its nice tight grain adds a sense of luxury to the playing experience. The smooth lines of the ES-295 body are supremely comfortable in the arms, ensuring that long playing sessions are a breeze in both standing and seated positions. The pair of Alnico-V P90s deliver crisp and clear tones, well suited to a wide range of styles and genres. The neck is warm and round, with ample power for pushing those melodic lines and solos to the front of the mix. The bridge pickup is of course brighter, and is well suited to crunchy rhythm parts and riffs. The hollow Maple body construction of the instruments adds an open and airy tone, with a nicely resonant and responsive feel in the arms which makes for a lively playing experience.
