A souped-up hollowbody with advanced electronics and deluxe hardware.
The Emperor Swingster Black Royale is a dazzling version of the go-to rockabilly, jazz and rock hollowbody classic. It features Epiphone SwingBucker™ pickups with classic Alnico-V magnets, Grover® machine heads, LockTone™ Tune-o-matic bridge, strap button, and best of all, a licensed B30 Bigsby® with original style "wire" handle as preferred by "Certified Guitar Player" and legend Chet Atkins. It comes in a beautiful black pearl finish with silver sparkle binding.
World famous for making some of the best and most innovative hollow-body guitars, Epiphone conjures up some of its past with the Emperor Swingster Royale. Starting with the same body and neck as used on their Emperor-II guitar and made famous by the jazz master himself, Joe Pass, Epiphone swings into action and turns it into a serious twangin', rock-a-billy slingin', country flingin' machine!
Classic Construction with SwingBucker Pickups!
With its hand-scalloped arched Spruce top combined with a laminated arched-back maple body and glued-in mahogany neck, the Swingster has what it takes to satisfy any professional's demand for great tone. At the heart of the guitar are Epiphone's NEW SwingBucker™ pickups and a series/parallel electronics switching package that outperforms others in its class. Specially designed for the Swingster, the humbuckers offer no-hum performance and feature classic Alnico-V magnets, enamel wire and over-wound coils for the perfect combination of warmth and bite.
Series/Parallel Switching
Two push/pull Tone controls allow you to change each pickup's output individually from parallel to series wiring creating a palette of useful sounds to tap into ranging from warm humbuckers to "quacky" single-coil type sounds and everything in-between. Of course, any swinging machine needs a vibrato and the Swingster is no exception featuring a Bigsby Licensed B30 with original style "wire" handle, a favorite of legends like Chet Atkins and Merle Travis.
Loads of Bling
Topping it all off are Epiphone's trademark, multi-bound headstock with the classic pearloid "vine" inlay, premium Grover® tuners and a multi-bound, 20 fret rosewood fingerboard with block inlay.
But wait... there's MORE!
Unlike some, Epiphone spares no expense by adding a "pinned" tune-o-matic bridge with roller saddles for smooth operation and accurate return to pitch that is preferred when using a vibrato.

Comments about Epiphone Limited Edition Emperor Swingster Black Royale Electric Guitar:
Remember Johnny Horten, Link Ray, or Gene Vincent? What about Bill Haley and the Comets? Or Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats? They are all old time 'rockabilly' artists, who were (in Setzer's case, still is) the pioneers of rock-n-roll. Lots of reverb and gobs of tremolo! I remember these folks because I'm almost 70 years old, and I wanted a guitar which would take me back to the late 50's and early 60's, when I started playing guitar. And man: does this axe do just that! I bought it as a change of pace for my Stratocaster EC signature, my 65 Stratocaster, and my other acoustic/electrics. Since I received it from MF last week, I haven't been able to put it down. For me; it's plain fun! It's very well made, and the coil splitting tone controls give the p-ups lots of tone variations. I use it for rockabilly, jazz, and blues, and it sounds great for all these styles. I can do without all the 'silver sparkle' binding, but that's just my preference. Too much 'bling' for this old man, but it'll look great under stage lights. Overall: a great guitar for the money!
