Epiphone Performer ME Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Trans Black

Product Review

Epiphone was a pioneer in the development of the guitar as we know it today and the choice brand for professional musicians since opening up in New York in 1904. Epiphone builds on that innovative and professional-grade history by taking the stage acoustic to the next level. The Performer ME acoustic/electric guitar from Epiphone is designed to sound as good as it looks.

Superior Tonal Control You Crave:The eSonic2[TM] rim-mounted console features dedicated EQ shape controls for both the NanoFlex[TM] and NanoMag[TM] pickups, blend control slider, "anti-feedback" phase switch (to squash the occaisional feedback hum) and built-in electronic tuner with auto-muting and intuitivly designed indicator lights. The eSonic2's[TM] versatility reaches even higher with stereo output jacks, still offering the standard "mono" blend whenever desired.
