Epiphone Wilshire P-90s Electric Guitar - Ebony Reviews
Simply put, if you were rocking in the early 1960s, you wanted a Wilshire. A high-performance axe in its day, the Epiphone Wilshire was built alongside Gibson’s now-historic instruments in the company’s famed Kalamazoo, Michigan, factory. This modern Epiphone Wilshire P-90 is a spot-on re-creation of the Wilshire’s earliest incarnation, complete with a symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body, a glued-in mahogany neck, and two red-hot PRO P-90 Soapbar pickups. This solidbody electric guitar is a garage-rock connoisseur’s dream come true by virtue of its pragmatic design, full-throttle tone, and head-turning style — it’s tailor-made for bashing out power chords. Epiphone rounded out the Wilshire P-90 with high-quality CTS pots, a rock-solid LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge, a reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock, and an eye-grabbing Epiphone Bikini badge.

A most impressive Epiphone original
Like the Crestwood (which I also have), the Coronet, and the Casino to name a few, the Wilshire is an Epiphone original and not an inspired by Gibson design like the Standard 60s or ES-335. The Wilshire exceeded my expectations for build quality and playability. I highly suggest you jump quickly on the opportunity to get one while it's in stock, especially if you've been on the fence about getting this guitar.
The P-90s on this guitar are more than decent, and suit me just fine. The guitar itself is relatively lightweight but sounds much heavier than it is. The sustain on this guitar, like on the Crestwood, sounds like it's from a very expensive guitar.
Even when not on sale, the guitar is a steal at $. The Wilshire is fun to play, and looks as good as it rocks. I am very pleased to own one.
It's a rock machine!
Bought the Wilshire 2 days ago. Let it acclaimate 24 hours as directed. Played it today and couldn't put it down. The only reason I stopped is because it was getting late. I've bought plenty guitars and none have made me more excited than this one. The P90's sound really good and are balanced to perfection. I'm somewhat of a snob in that I prefer Fender or Gibson on the headstock but after reading the history about Epiphone and falling in love with the look of the Wilshire in black, dual P90's, and considering the price I felt I had to take a chance on this one and I'm soooo glad I did. The playability and sound of this rock machine is exactly what I was looking for to complement my Fender AmPro II Strat. The Epi Wilshire really shines with or without pedals. The difference between the Strat and the Wilshire is that in order to get dirt with the Strat I have to use pedals or turn the gain up more on the amp but with the Wilshire and same amount of gain I achieve the perfect amount of distortion by using the volume controls on the guitar, (P90 goodness). Bottom line is that this is a lot of guitar for the price. I read complaints about neck dive due to the strap button placement but I didn't see it as a problem being that the guitar is like under 10 pounds and playing the it is so much fun and it looks so freaking good.
Thanks ROQ! (Sweetwater rep)
