About This Listing

Introducing the limited edition Epiphone 150th Anniversary Wilshire. This hard-rocking guitar was created in celebration of Epiphone’s 150th anniversary. From its introduction in 1959, the Wilshire has been one of Epiphone’s most successful original solid body electric guitars. This special anniversary version features an asymmetrical-style Wilshire double-cutaway mahogany body for outstanding upper fret access, a mahogany neck with a comfortable 60s SlimTaper™ D profile, and an Indian laurel fretboard with dot inlays.

The headstock is the popular “Batwing” style, with Wilkinson” six on a plate inline tuners with metal buttons. The electronics feature a pair of made-in-the-USA Gibson™ Mini Humbuckers™ that are wired to CTS™ potentiometers and a Switchcraft 3-way toggle  switch and output jack. The included 150th Anniversary Historic Hardshell Case features nickel hardware and an Epiphone 150th Anniversary logo.

Product Overview
The Wilshire was updated in 1963, moving from a design based on the early Coronet, to one based on the asymmetric Crestwood. The Wilshire featured the same dual mini-humbucker setup as the Crestwood, but did away with some of the flashier aesthetic choices, like the large oval fretboard inlays. While most commonly seen with a vibrato unit, stop tail models were also produced.
