The Details
First introduced in 1958 and renamed the Crestwood Custom in 1959, this model marked Epiphone's first twin-pickup solid body design. This modern reissue captures the spirit of the original with authentic styling and updated reliability. The mahogany body and set neck produce a warm, resonant foundation, while the PRO Mini Humbuckers offer crisp articulation and vintage character with excellent note definition. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with Graph Tech TUSQ saddles works alongside the Tremotone vibrato for stable tuning and expressive performance.
Finished in elegant Cherry with nickel hardware and period-correct details throughout, the Crestwood Custom is a distinctive choice for players seeking something beyond the ordinary Gibson-inspired crowd.
