Electrifying new PRO-1 axes threaten to blow the competition out of the water with an amazing combination of build quality, versatile tone and a huge list of accessories.
When it comes to affordable guitars, only a handful of brands stand in the same league with Epiphone and its dedication to build and performance quality. Countless electrics and acoustics bearing Epi logo on their headstocks and pickguards have proven this over and over again through the years, finding their place in millions of rooms, garages, studios and stages across the world. Now, Epiphone raises the bar once again. It is PRO-1 Explorer and PRO-1 Les Paul Jr. axes which are causing all the rave across the guitar community this autumn. They`re magnificent solid-bodies with six-string construction, simple electronics, simple hardware and huge tone. Also, both of them are offered solely in Performance Pack variant, accompanied by battery-powered bedroom amps, picks, cords, gig bags, Shadow E-Tuners and 2014 incarnation of the awesome Rocksmith. Now, let`s dig in and see what the new PRO-1 models offer.
Epiphone PRO-1 Explorer comes with a slightly smaller frame than the standard Explorer. The body is still being made of mahogany, but the neck is now made of maple and features a bolt-on joint. Epiphone`s 700T humbucker with zebra coils and a Shadow E-Tuner on the mounting ring commands the parade and provides an exceptional range of tonal options. 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, two-piece bridge unit and die-cast tuners complete the list of major specs.
