In recent years, single-pickup guitars have become increasingly popular, especially the Gibson Les Paul Junior. However, the Epiphone Coronet is often overlooked, even though it is essentially a Les Paul Junior.
Like the Les Paul Junior, the Coronet is made from a single piece of mahogany, features a P90 pickup, a wraparound bridge (and Maestro vibrato), and a long neck tenon. It is even built in the same Kalamazoo Gibson factory.
This 1965 Coronet is completely original and has that classic '60s vibe with its batwing headstock, Maestro vibrato, and vintage hi-fi-style knobs. The guitar is still in beautiful condition and has a lovely weather checking across the body.
The P90 sounds full and warm and is more versatile than you might expect. By experimenting with the volume and tone knobs, as well as your picking dynamics, you can get a wide range of tones from this guitar.
