This guitar comes from the special collection of a 25-year Gibson employee. The collection includes one-of-a-kind prototypes and some of the best examples of models from the Epiphone line over the past two decades, with many of them still in the same condition they left the factory.
This Emperor Swingster Royale was an inexpensive model built from the body of an Emperor II jazz guitar with a few modifications, most notably the double humbucking pickups. This example is in excellent condition and includes a hardshell case.
