An Epiphone Icon Born in 1959, Updated for Today
Introduced in 1959, the "Wilshire" is one of Epiphone's iconic solid-body models. This P-90 version retains the original aesthetic: symmetrical double-cut body, reduced Kalamazoo headstock with "Epiphone Bikini" badge, and a butterfly tortoiseshell-style pickguard with an "E" leaf logo. It stands as a vintage and sharp alternative to heavier solid-bodies, with an immediately recognizable sonic personality.
Who Is It For, and What Styles?
Ideal for ambitious beginners to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive and expressive electric guitar. The P-90s excel in rock, indie, garage, blues, and punk, while also delivering beautiful dynamic cleans for pop and soul. The Medium C profile, 12" / 305 mm radius, and medium-jumbo frets enhance comfort for both rhythm playing and solos.
The Sound
The P-90 Soapbars deliver full-bodied mids, precise snap, and great dynamics. The neck pickup provides warmth and breadth, while the bridge pickup offers attack and definition for riffs. The CTS potentiometers ensure smooth volume and tone control, and the combination of mahogany body + LockTone Tune-O-Matic/Stop Bar enhances note sustain and projection. From crystal-clear slightly compressed cleans to edgy crunch, the Wilshire P-90 covers a wide vintage spectrum.
