Key Features
Trade in your Epiphone Emperor Swingster Archtop, Wine Red with Gear4music. If you’re not reaching for this guitar as often anymore, it could be a good time to move it on – especially if your playing style is shifting away from rockabilly, swing, or jazz. It’s a solid instrument for those genres, but if it’s no longer the right fit, trading it in keeps things simple and gives you space – both physically and musically – for something that suits you better.
You might be looking to pick up a more modern semi-hollow for greater versatility, or maybe a solid body guitar that’s better suited to heavier styles or effects-driven setups. Either way, trading in is a good way to put the value of your current gear towards something that matches where you're at now.

The Emperor Swingster is loaded with a pair of Epiphone Swingbucker pickups at the bridge and neck, which provides plenty of sonic warmth without losing clarity. The SwingBuckers provide a versatile tone that works for a variety of different styles, and with the Push/Pull tone controls you an alter the output to either Parallel or Series for even more tones.
The Emperor Swingster delivers beautifully bright tones with its combination of lightweight tonewoods. The maple back and sides offer a well balanced sound with exceptional sustain, and a clear, cutting tone that has good projection. The maple is topped with spruce which enhances the tone with a broad dynamic range, as well as good clarity for an overall strong and punchy sound. The neck is also made from bright maple, and it is paired with a rosewood fingerboard which brings soft and warm articulation.
The Epiphone Emperor Swingster has a 'rockabilly' appearance, with its warm Wine Red finish the Swingster is sure to make a statement on stage. Other vintage appointments include two 'F' holes, a beautiful headstock inlay and the B30 Bigsby wire handle for the complete Rockabilly, Jazz, Country and Rock guitar.
