Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Mahogany Neck, Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups – Cherry

Tailor-made for High-octane Garage Rock

Simply put, if you were rocking in the early 1960s, you wanted a Wilshire. A high-performance axe in its day, the Epiphone Wilshire was built alongside Gibson’s now-historic instruments in the company’s famed Kalamazoo, Michigan, factory. This modern Epiphone Wilshire P-90 is a spot-on re-creation of the Wilshire’s earliest incarnation, complete with a symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body, a glued-in mahogany neck, and two red-hot PRO P-90 Soapbar pickups. This solidbody electric guitar is a garage-rock connoisseur’s dream come true by virtue of its pragmatic design, full-throttle tone, and head-turning style — it’s tailor-made for bashing out power chords. Epiphone rounded out the Wilshire P-90 with high-quality CTS pots, a rock-solid LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, a reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock, and an eye-grabbing Epiphone Bikini badge.

Iconic tone from PRO P-90 single-coil pickups

The PRO P-90 single-coil pickups in the Wilshire P-90 are designed with many of the features of the original P-90 pickups created by Seth Lover in the ’50s. They’re sensitive pickups that respond amazingly well to the nuances of your picking. Dig in and they start to growl with a vocal-like quality. Played cleanly, the sound is rich and sparkling. If you love the articulation of single-coil pickups, but want a bit more girth to your tone, PRO P-90 pickups are the perfect choice. The Wilshire P-90 also includes individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, with high-quality CTS potentiometers to ensure the best sound possible.

Cozy playability from a glued-in, medium “C”-shaped neck

The Epiphone Wilshire P-90 offers the perfect combination of an old-school, hand-filling medium “C”-shaped neck and a modern-feeling, 12-inch-radius Indian laurel fingerboard. We’ve found this electric guitar to be a rhythm player’s delight. Whether you’re banging out a punk progression or whipping out tight chord stabs, the Wilshire P-90 will feel like an extension of your body. And while this isn’t the most shred-friendly axe on the planet, the Wilshire P-90’s double-cut solidbody makes accessing all of its 22 medium-jumbo frets effortless. To top it off, this vintage-style guitar’s glued-in neck construction enables it to sustain with no end.

Head-turning looks from period-correct aesthetics

Strapping on the Wilshire P-90 will make you look like the coolest guitarist on your scene. This idiosyncratic, head-turning axe starts with an early-model, symmetrical double-cutaway shape (the Wilshire sported an asymmetrical shape from 1963 on), but it doesn’t stop there. Its distinctively shaped pickguard is emblazoned with an eye-catching stylized “E” logo, and its reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock is adorned with an impossible-to-ignore Epiphone Bikini badge. Period-correct top hat knobs and ivory tuning buttons complete this guitar’s killer look.
