Epiphone proudly announces the second in the series of “Epiphone Custom Historic USA” guitars.  The series is limited to 100 guitars worldwide.

Epiphone put a lot of attention to the detail and keen craftsmanship to preserve much of the original 1960 version, featuring two P-90 pickups, solid mahogany body with one piece neck.  Back then it had been designed to compete against the everlasting Strat.
