Epiphone Blues King Studio Dark Burst

The Epiphone Blues King Studio is part of the all-new Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection. These guitars combine vintage charm with modern craftsmanship, designed to deliver a soulful, resonant sound perfect for blues and folk enthusiasts. Based on classic Gibson parlor acoustics, the Blues King Studio features a smaller parlor-sized body and a 24.75” scale length, making it ideal for first-time players, smaller-statured players, and fingerstyle, blues, folk, and Americana music.

The guitar has a layered, L-00-style mahogany body with single-ply cream binding on the top and back, and a solid spruce top for responsive, balanced tone with excellent dynamic range that improves with age. The mahogany neck is attached with a glued-in tapered dovetail joint and features a comfortable Rounded C profile. The bound rosewood fretboard has 19 standard frets with simple pearloid dot inlays. Strings pass over a compensated plastic saddle and anchor to a rectangular rosewood bridge with ivory-colored bridge pins.

Additional vintage-style details include an L-00-shaped dark tortoise shell pickguard, three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory-colored buttons, and a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock with the Epiphone logo in gold silkscreen. Fishman electronics include an S-Core under-saddle pickup and Fishman Presys VT preamp with soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls.

Finish and Colors: Gloss finish, available in Ebony and Dark Burst. Both right and left-handed versions are available. A standard gig bag is included.

Battery: Not included. Requires a 9-volt battery for the pickup.
