A Versatile and Distinctive Semi-hollowbody
The Epiphone Blueshawk Deluxe is one of the most versatile and distinctive semi-hollowbody guitars that we've seen at Sweetwater in awhile. You'll love the thick, resonant smoothness that you get from the Blueshawk Deluxe, that's balanced perfectly by a strong midrange and brilliant top end. A pair of phenomenal-sounding P-90 Pro single-coil pickups, plus a 6-position Rotary VariTone circuit only add to this remarkable semi-hollowbody's tonal flexibility. After a few minutes with the Blueshawk Deluxe's ultra-comfortable '60's SlimTaper neck, you'll find it difficult to put this semi-hollowbody guitar down. With the upper bout curve and cutaway of a Les Paul but with small f-holes like an archtop, the Epiphone Blueshawk Deluxe is an impressive semi-hollowbody guitar!
Epiphone Blueshawk Deluxe Semi-hollowbody Guitar at a Glance:- P-90 single-coils deliver gorgeous, vintage-tinged tone
- VariTone control makes dialing in the perfect tone as simple as turning a knob
- 1960s SlimTaper "D" neck profile provides comfortable playability
- Epiphone - a brief history
The Epiphone Blueshawk Deluxe semi-hollowbody electric guitar is fitted with two P-90 Pro pickups. With its biting treble and high output, the P-90 cleans up nicely when you roll back your guitar's volume pot. And when you hit your amp hard, the P-90 really wails. It's an amazingly versatile pickup (more so, arguably, than most humbuckers). On top of that, the Blueshawk Deluxe has a hum-canceling dummy coil mounted between its pickups, providing you with hum reduction when the neck or bridge pickups are used alone.
VariTone control makes dialing in the perfect tone as simple as turning a knobEpiphone's VariTone circuitry is a truly unique beast, and it's part of what makes the Blueshawk Deluxe semi-hollowbody electric guitar such a fun and distinctive instrument to play. The VariTone control works by letting you reduce frequencies at set points within the BluesHawk Deluxe's overall frequency spectrum. As you crank the VariTone control, the filter shifts from higher to lower frequencies. Controls include volume and tone with an easy-access push/pull VariTone true bypass.
1960s SlimTaper "D" neck profile provides comfortable playabilitySweetwater guitarists - and indeed, players worldwide - appreciate Epiphone's 1960s SlimTaper "D" neck profile for its fast and smooth playability. Thinner than '50s-style necks, this neck profile stays out of the way of your fast lead playing, while still being substantial enough for comfortable rhythm playing.
Epiphone - a brief historyThe spirit of innovation that drove Epiphone to push the boundaries of guitar design over 125 years ago can also be seen in those who chose to play Epiphone guitars. Visionaries such as George Van Epps, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass made music history with their Epiphones, as did blues legend John Lee Hooker. The most recorded song ever written, "Yesterday," was recorded with Epiphone guitars the Beatles purchased in 1964. It is an incredible legacy that continues today with Noel Gallagher, Lenny Kravitz, and other artists who choose to make their music with Epiphone guitars.
