The Epiphone Uptown Kat ES offers semi-hollow sound with maximum clarity. Classic semi-hollow guitars have a sought-after acoustic resonance, but in the past, hollow bodies would react badly with pickups, causing unpleasant feedback and noise. Epiphone has solved this issue with a spruce centre block that eliminates interference, ensuring a pure and clear signal. This means you can turn up the gain and volume without sacrificing that natural acoustic-like tone.
The Uptown Kat ES is equipped with powerful, versatile, and super-sharp electronics. It features a pair of Mini ProBucker FB720 pickups with Alnico II bar magnets, voiced to the tone of a classic sixties Firebird. This provides a bright, punchy sound with a huge tonal range suitable for any genre. This guitar allows for playing with freedom and expression.
In addition to its exceptional sound, the Uptown Kat offers a wonderfully smooth playing experience. It features an ebony fingerboard that feels sleek beneath your fingertips, and a special slim comfort “C”-shaped neck that fits perfectly to the contours of your hand, eliminating cramp. Other features that make this guitar stand out include a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge for perfect intonation, Grover Rotomatic tuners for flawless tuning, and a top-quality GraphTech nut for supreme sustain. The stunning ruby red metallic finish adds to the visual appeal of this remarkable instrument, making it a work of art.
