Epiphone's first solid body electric returns to its roots
Crestwood first appeared in 1958 and in slightly modified form in 1959 as Crestwood Custom; it was Epiphone's first original solid body electric guitar design. The new Epiphone Crestwood Custom returns to its roots with features dating back to those early models, including a symmetrical double cutaway mahogany body with two Epiphone PRO Mini Humbucker pickups, three one-sided reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock with Epiphone Bikini badge and ivory button Epiphone Luxury tuning machines, and a clear butterfly pickguard with white center stripe and foil E logo. The Crestwood Custom features a glued-in mahogany neck with a medium C profile, 12" radius Indian laurel fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and Epiphone oval inlays, 2 volume and 2 tone controls with CTS® potentiometers, and a Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with Graph Tech® TUSQ® saddles and Tremtone vibrato tailpiece.
