Epiphone proudly presents the Ltd. Ed. ES-295 Premium, one of the most iconic guitars in rock history now in Musician’s Friend exclusive color finishes and featuring Gibson USA Dogear P-90 pickups.The original ES-295 archtop was first introduced in 1952 as a hollowbody companion to the modern Goldtop Les Paul, which was then catching on across the country. That 52 ES-295 full body archtop originally came in a stunning Metallic Gold finish, cream P-90 dogearÃ?ÂÂ? style pickups, and an ornate pickguard that was easily recognized on stage. But the ES-295 really caught on when Scotty Moore, a 20-year old guitarist from Memphis, accompanied Elvis Presley on his first nationally televised appearances in 1956. From then on, the ES-295 was– for many kids discovering rock-and-roll –the ultimate electric guitar for stirring up trouble.With a tone that could be biting one minute and smooth the next, the ES-295 was the one boxÃ?ÂÂ? a pro could take to any show or any session and make an impression. Now Epiphonethe original House of Stathopoulo and every hardcore guitarist’ favorite archtop maker–brings you the new Ltd. Ed. ES-295 Premium powered by the same original Gibson USA Dogear P-90 pickups.Premium RockThe Epiphone ES-295 Premium features a maple body with a maple top finished with aged-style lacquer.
