A classy signature model that has all the right stuff.
Johnny A., Living Legend
For over two decades, Johnny A. has cultivated a reputation as one of rock n’ roll’s supreme guitarists and bandleaders. And his custom hollowbody archtop, which features a sharp double cutaway along with its unique sound hole design, has made Johnny A. one of the most easily recognized players working today. Now, Epiphone presents Johnny A.’s first custom signature archtop for the “House of Stathopoulo” in a beautiful Sunset Glow gloss finish.
Flame Maple Top and Ebony Fretboard
The Ltd. Ed. Johnny A. Custom Outfit features a thin-line style hollowbody design made from mahogany with a beautiful flame maple top finished in Sunset Glow. The Johnny A. Custom is easily recognized by its double cutaway and features modern non-script “f-holes” with a matching black pickguard. The body of the Johnny A. has 5-layer white and black (pure white/black) on the top and 3-play binding on the back. The mahogany neck has a Custom “C” profile with 3-ply pure white and black binding. The ebony fretboard includes Johnny’s unique pearloid inlay and has a 12 in. radius with 22 medium frets and 1.69 in. nut. The bound headstock has an Epiphone logo in pearloid along with a custom "Johnny A." in pearloid.
Bigsby B70 Vibrato and Solid Epiphone Hardware
The Johnny A. Custom features Epiphone’s legendary rock solid hardware including an ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and a classic Bigsby B70 Vibrato along with gold nickel hardware, an Epiphone Heavy-Duty 1/4 in. all-metal jack plate, gold pickup covers, and Epiphone "Deluxe" machine heads with a 18:1 ratio. A hardshell case is included.
Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers
The Ltd. Ed. Johnny A. Custom Outfit is powered by Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers, which are based on Gibson’s legendary hand-wound “Les Paul Standard” humbuckers from the late '50s. Today, those rare pickups are recognized by collectors by the black “Patent Applied For” sticker on the back, applied at the factory.
Today’s Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers are made with the same Alnico II magnets as the originals (plus a reproduction of the “Patent Applied For” sticker) and are wax potted to keep down noise and feedback at high-volume. Gibson '57s also include vintage style enamel-coated wire, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and 2-conductor braided wiring for a complete vintage experience without the vintage price tag. Controls for the Johnny A. are standard Volume and Tone pots for each pickup with Gold "top hat" knobs with metal pointers.
