Originally introduced as an entry-level instrument in 1959, the particularly agile Coronet soon found itself in the hands of numerous well-known musicians such as Johnny Marr, Steve Marriott, Ace Frehley and even Jimi Hendrix, impressing them with its first-class handling and fitting sounds between blues and rock. With the Epiphone USA Coronet, Epiphone now offers fans and collectors a reissue of the classic from US production and also provides each model with a matching hardshell case. The Epiphone USA Coronet Vintage Cherry represents the famous student model of 1959. Doublecut construction made of mahogany Like the original of the late fifties, the Epiphone USA Coronet consists of a mahogany body and a neck also made of mahogany. The former, with its particularly slim dimensions and generous Cutaways , ensures unrestricted playability and simplified access to the high fretboard positions, while the neck has a proven 'slim taper' neck profile and provides the best conditions from a technical playing point of view. The basic design of the Coronet is rounded off by a rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets and a self-lubricating nut from GraphTech. Epiphone P-90 single coil for hot sounds Under the famous 'soapbar' housing in the bridge position of the Epiphone USA Coronet is an Epiphone P-90 single coil, which impresses with a particularly hot winding and skillfully combines the tonal characteristics of the classic single coil and modern humbucker. While its single-coil construction stands for a clear, unadulterated basic sound with a sharply defined Attack , its wider coil winding contributes a pleasant mid-range to give both Chords and leads sufficient assertiveness. The pickup's controls are extremely straightforward and consist of a volume control and a treble control.
