Paragraph 1:
Musical genius down to the tiniest detail. The Epiphone Uptown Kat ES has been masterfully crafted combining sensational sound and top-level playability with a range of finishing touches that’ll make this guitar one of the best you’ve ever played. Its archtop semi-hollow design brings rich acoustic-style resonance. And there’ll be no feedback ruining your signal – a spruce centre block eliminates noise and interference. A pair of ProBucker FB720 pickups provides a huge tonal range with sharp bright output. Add in a GraphTech nut, Grover tuners, and a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge, and you’ve got an instrument that’s ready for anything you can throw at it.
Paragraph 2:
Semi-hollow sound with maximum clarity. The stunning acoustic resonance of classic semi-hollow guitars has been heard in the music of pretty much every genre you can think of. It’s sought after. But in the past, the reverberations around semi-hollow guitars’ hollow bodies would react badly with pickups, causing unpleasant feedback and noise. With a spruce centre block, Epiphone has the solution. The centre block is designed to eliminate interference, ensuring your signal remains pure and clear. So you can crank up the gain and the volume – you’ll still enjoy that natural acoustic-like tone without the unwanted racket.
Paragraph 3:
Powerful, versatile, and super-sharp electronics. You’ve got raucous sound that’s suitable for any playing style in the Uptown Kat ES. That’s because of the pair of Mini ProBucker FB720 pickups Epiphone has loaded into it. They’ve got Alnico II bar magnets and are voiced to the tone of a classic sixties Firebird. This bright, punchy sound is paired with a huge tonal range that’ll accommodate any genre. Play with freedom.
Paragraph 4:
The little things – all adding up to one fantastic instrument. It goes without saying that sound is the most important aspect of an instrument. But there’s so much more that goes into creating a brilliant electric guitar than just the pickups. The Uptown Kat is a testament to that. For a start, it gives you a wonderfully smooth playing experience. An ebony fingerboard is sleek beneath your fingertips, while a special slim comfort “C”-shaped neck fits perfectly to the contours of your hand, eliminating cramp. There are plenty of other features that make this guitar awesome too. A LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge gives your strings perfect intonation while Grover Rotomatic tuners keep your tuning flawless. There’s a top quality GraphTech nut for supreme sustain. And you only need to quickly glance at this remarkable instrument to see that it’s a work of art – a stunning emerald green metallic finish is classy and will stand out anywhere. This is an instrument with quality in every department.
