Our Take:
Epiphone’s Wilshire P-90 is a fun solid body electric guitar that harkens back to the style of the ’60s, sporting features such as anEpiphone Bikini badge on the headstock, a butterfly tortoise shell pickguard with a foil E logo, and a symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body that’s as much a style statement as it is a player aid when getting at those upper frets. Reviving many of the features that made the early Wilshire models so popular, the new Wilshire P-90 delivers a pair of dualPRO P-90 Soapbar pickups that compliment the Mahogany construction perfectly – along withan Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece to keep things resonant.
Epiphone’s Take:
From its first appearance in 1959 the Wilshire has been one of Epiphone’s most successful original solid body electric guitar designs. The Wilshire P-90 brings back many of the features of the earliest Wilshire models including the symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body with dual PRO P-90 Soapbar pickups, three on a side reduced sized Kalamazoo headstock with Epiphone Bikini badge and ivory button Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines, and a butterfly tortoise shell pickguard with foil E logo. The Wilshire P-90 comes equipped with a glued-in mahogany neck with a medium C profile, Indian laurel fretboard with 12″ radius and 22 medium jumbo frets, 2 volume and 2 tone controls and an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, and is available in classic Cherry and Ebony finishes.
