Gibson USA Epiphone Coronet Ebony

Full Description

Classic design with modern enhancements

The Gibson USA Epiphone Coronet is a tribute to one of the most iconic solidbody electric guitars in Epiphone's history. First introduced in 1958, the Coronet became a symbol of raw, unfiltered rock ’n’ roll. This USA-made reissue stays true to the original with its symmetrical double cutaway mahogany body, three-on-a-side headstock featuring the classic “Bikini” badge, and vintage-style cream pickguard. But this is more than just a retro reissue – it comes with subtle modern enhancements for a superior playing experience, including a slightly wider nut width for greater comfort and a slimmer body depth that ensures better balance without sacrificing its signature tone.

Powerful P-90 soapbar pickup

At the heart of the Gibson USA Epiphone Coronet’s powerful sound is its P-90 Soapbar pickup. Known for its crisp, dynamic response and rich midrange, this single-coil pickup captures the classic tones that made the Coronet a favourite of rock legends like Jimi Hendrix, Steve Marriott, and Johnny Marr. The P-90’s ability to deliver both smooth, warm clean tones and gritty, punchy overdrive makes it perfect for a wide range of musical styles. With the Coronet, you get that unmistakable vintage tone combined with the reliability of modern electronics.

SlimTaper neck for comfortable playability

The Coronet’s playability is enhanced by its SlimTaper neck profile, a feature that offers a fast, smooth feel perfect for any playing style. Whether exploring intricate lead lines or laying down solid rhythm, the neck's comfortable shape makes it easy to play for extended sessions without fatigue. The 22 medium jumbo frets on the Indian rosewood fingerboard provide excellent note clarity and smooth transitions, making it a joy to explore the full range of the fretboard.

Premium hardware and hand-wired electronics

Crafted in the USA, the Gibson USA Epiphone Coronet is built to last. It features a durable nickel finish on its vintage-style wraparound bridge, ensuring reliable intonation and resonance. The hand-wired electronics come with an Orange Drop capacitor, providing enhanced tone stability and ensuring your sound is always rich and clear. The Graph Tech nut further improves tuning stability, while the vintage deluxe tuning machines with white buttons complete the guitar’s classic aesthetic. This combination of premium hardware and meticulously hand-wired electronics ensures you get a dependable, stage-ready instrument that sounds as good as it looks.
