A Wilshire true to the 1959 spirit
Introduced in 1959, the Wilshire is one of Epiphone's historic solid body models. This P-90 version revives the aesthetic codes of the first Wilshires while maintaining simple and effective lutherie: mahogany, glued-in neck, and straightforward electronics. A "plug-and-play" guitar made for no-nonsense playing, with a genuine nod to the classics.
For which guitarist and styles?
The Epiphone Wilshire P-90 is aimed at motivated beginners as well as intermediate players seeking a vintage-styled electric, and also stage musicians looking for an inspiring second instrument. It excels in rock, punk, garage, blues, and indie: any style where you want to feel the pick, dynamics, and bite of a good P-90.
The sound
The mahogany duo (body + glued neck) provides a warm foundation, with present mids and natural sustain. The two Epiphone PRO P-90 Soapbar pickups deliver a thicker and edgier sound than a standard single coil, while retaining air and responsiveness. With 2 volume and 2 tone controls, you can switch from rich, gritty crunch to rounder, softer tones, or push the attack and snap for cutting rhythm parts.
