The Uptown Kat ES delivers semi-hollow sound with maximum clarity. Classic semi-hollow guitars have a sought-after acoustic resonance, but in the past, pickups would react badly with the reverberations from the hollow bodies, causing unpleasant feedback and noise. Epiphone has solved this issue by including a spruce center block. The center block eliminates interference, ensuring your signal remains pure and clear. You can crank up the gain and volume without any unwanted racket, enjoying that natural acoustic-like tone.
The Uptown Kat ES is equipped with powerful, versatile, and 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. These pickups offer a bright and punchy sound, along with a wide tonal range suitable for any genre. You can play with freedom and explore different playing styles.
While sound is crucial, the Uptown Kat offers much more. It provides a smooth playing experience with its ebony fingerboard and special slim comfort “C”-shaped neck. The neck fits perfectly to the contours of your hand, eliminating any cramp. The guitar also includes other fantastic features like a LockTone Tune-o-Matic bridge for perfect intonation, Grover Rotomatic tuners for flawless tuning, and a top-quality GraphTech nut for supreme sustain. Its stunning sapphire blue metallic finish makes it a work of art that will stand out anywhere. This instrument excels in every department.
