Our Take:
What better way to celebrate the legacy of one of the legendary Joe Pass than by releasing a guitar designed in his honor: the Joe Pass Emperor-II Pro. Epiphone’s homage to the late “President of Bebop Guitar” utilizes a classic archtop body-style with hand-scalloped bracing in order to deliver unparalleled resonance and jazz tones – perfectly complimented by a pair of ProBucker humbuckers and topped off by a sleek Vintage Sunburst finish.
Epiphone’s Take:
The classic Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO honors the “President of Bebop Guitar,” one of the most prolific and groundbreaking guitarists in the history of jazz. The Joe Pass Emperor-II PRO is a true archtop with hand-scalloped bracing.
