The Epiphone Uptown Kat ES Electric Guitar embodies all the class and vintage sound more discerning players might be seeking, however with a healthy dose of modern appeal and playability.
Built with a 5-ply Maple/Poplar body, the Epiphone Uptown Kat ES Electric Guitar presents a wicked aesthetic, with classy 'F' holes cut into the top of the body and bold metallic finishes to capture hearts and imaginations. The 5-ply body is set with a Mahogany neck, featuring a highly playable slim taper 'C' profile that Gibson players will find familiar and comfortable. A 12" radius Ebony fretboard tops off the build, providing a bit of the secret spice that make Epiphone guitars sound so good.
Our sound is delivered courtesy of two powerful Mini-Probucker FB720 pickups, emulating authentic sounding vintage tone with plenty of sustain, warmth, and a tight treble response. Other hardware appointments include a gold plated hardware, Grover 18:1 ratio tuning machines, a LockTone ABR bridge, the highly coveted trapeze tailpiece and a GraphTech nut, all aspects which helps deliver the premium feel and performance we expect from Epiphone.
The Epiphone Uptown Kat ES Electric Guitar is an excellent addition to an already strong lineup of models, and is ideal for players who desire vintage sound, complimented by modern playability and eye-catching finishes.
