Epiphone’s First Electric Solid Body Returns to Its Roots

The Crestwood first appeared in 1958 and it was renamed Crestwood Custom in 1959; it was Epiphone’s first two-pickup solid-body electric guitar design. The new Epiphone Crestwood Custom returns to its roots with features that harken back to the early models including a symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body with two Epiphone PRO Mini Humbucker pickups, three on a side reduced sized Kalamazoo headstock with Epiphone Bikini badge and ivory button Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines, and a clear butterfly pickguard with white center stripe and foil E logo. The Crestwood Custom comes equipped with a glued-in mahogany neck with a medium C profile, Indian laurel fretboard with 12″ radius, 22 medium jumbo frets and Epiphone oval inlays, 2 volume and 2 tone controls with CTS potentiometers, and an Epiphone LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge with Graph Tech TUSQ saddles and Tremotone vibrato tailpiece.
