Epiphone 150th Anniversary Crestwood Custom Electric Guitar - California Coral Reviews
Celebrate a century and a half of Epiphone excellence with the 150th Anniversary Crestwood Custom! This guitar’s slick style comes straight out of the early 1960s, sporting an asymmetrical double-cut mahogany body that permits full access to all 22 frets on the ’60s SlimTaper “D” Indian laurel-on-mahogany neck. From the Batwing headstock to the swooping pickguard to the “e” emblazoned Tremotone tailpiece, the Epiphone 150th Anniversary Crestwood Custom represents the epitome of Epiphone style. However, a vintage-inspired axe is nothing without vintage-inspired sound — luckily, Epiphone loaded this 6-string up with true Gibson-made mini-humbucker pickups for a clear, articulate hum-canceling punch that splits the difference between single-coil and humbucker. Capture the vintage-correct vibe of Epiphone’s iconic double-cut solidbody with the Epiphone 150th Anniversary Crestwood Custom!

Great guitar
Feels great, stays in tune alright, looks great. Very high quality in every way.
Awesome and fun to play
I really really like this guitar. The fretboard is so smooth that it feels like you're rubbing your fingers across silk. It's lightweight and the tones are phenomenal. The mini-humbuckers are so well balanced that I mainly use the middle switch to play most songs.
I use the tone knobs to darken the neck pickup a little and BAM! Sound for days.
I was very surprised at how well it keeps in tune even after not playing it for a couple of days. Thanks to Adam Szmurlo for getting it setup for me.
Almost Perfect
This is a great unique looking very lightweight guitar. It looks great and plays great. At this price point you would be hard pressed to find a better guitar. The case that came with the guitar is pretty nice and fits it well even with the tremolo bar. While I prefer the Strat type tremolo, it's kind of unique looking and adds to the overall appearance of the guitar. The mini Hum-buckers are more like single coils to me but it has a great sound and are noiseless. This does not sound like a Les Paul nor does this have the sustain like one but as it is much lighter it has a great sound which is more Strat like to my ears. I would say that it is great for classic rock or surf rock but not for metal. Quality wise I feel it's a great build.
My only issue is that the guitar comes with plastic covering of the pick guard which is hard to remove and you can see from the photo is it left a plastic string around the cord plug. I feel the plastic should be removed during inspection. This does not mar the greatness of the guitar though so it's 5 stars all the way.
