Overview

The Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor-II continues to be one of the best-selling archtop guitars.

The virtues of the acclaimed virtuoso shine through brilliantly with the signature Emperor-II, which still bears his name today.

Beautifully Made to Sound So Good

The comfortable to play Joe Pass Emperor-II is slightly smaller than the typical jumbo jazz-boxes with a lower bout width of 16" and is constructed with a very responsive select Spruce top combined wth a beautiful Flame Maple back and sides body hand-set to a bright, 3-piece Maple neck. The Emperor II features a single trapeze tailpiece and floating Rosewood bridge, voiced by a pair of full-size Alnico Classic Humbuckers and matched aesthetically with an Abalone/Pearl "Tree of Life" headstock inlay and block fretboard inlay. This beauty also features full 1" 500K potentiometers for individually adjusting bridge pickup volume and tone and neck pickup volume and tone as well as Epiphone's quality all-metal toggle switch and a premium output jack.

Love this guitar! Two complaints though, both having to do with the bridge. As an archtop guitar the bridge is movable. It was shipped with a piece of thin protective foam under the bridge and the intonation was off. Someone with less experience than myself would possibly have a problem removing the foam and getting the intonation set. Otherwise, it's a lovely guitar that plays easily and sounds good.
