My Guitar Notes

Epiphone Crestwood

The Epiphone Crestwood is an electric guitar manufactured by Epiphone between 1958 and 1970, one of a group of solid-body models the firm introduced after it was taken over by Gibson. It has a slab body with a distinctive offset shape, two single-coil pickups in the earlier versions and a pair of mini humbuckers later, together with a simple control layout and a vibrato on some examples. The model was aimed at the student and budget market, and the surviving instruments are collected as examples of early Epiphone solid-body design.
