The Epiphone Ltd Ed James Bay, revives the mid 1960's design that was renowned for being comfortable, lightweight and able to produce a warm, woody tone. The laminated maple body is coupled with a maple top and delivers an excellent dynamic range, along with versatile tonal characteristics. The vintage-style look is finished with a vibrant cherry gloss with an Ivory colour single layer binding, and adds an extra retro feel to the overall look of the guitar. Extra detail is enhanced by the pair of traditional f-holes, which add to the acoustic projection and keep in style with the original model.
Adding to this vintage inspired design is a mahogany set neck, which features a rounded "C" shape and a 25.5" scale, with a simple but elegant rosewood fingerboard. The fingerboard is nicely finished off with pearloid "dot" inlays, a Delrin ivory colored nut and a historic sloped dovewing headstock.
Just like the original guitar, this limited edition model is equipped with the same electronics, accurate to the last detail. The "Sweet Neck" P-90 Hx Noiseless Single-Coil is well known for its sonic properties and its ability to deliver a tone without the undesirable ''hum'' that similar pickups might have. This legendary pickup is the only P-90-style pickup currently in production that delivers similar properties to the Gibson P-90 pickups. Players can easily find their perfect tone using the black top hat controls knob, with options for Volume and Tone. Both control knobs also feature metal inserts and CTS potentiometers.
The attention to detail on the James Bay Century guitar is simply superb, and includes the legendary Wilkinson vintage 3-in-a-row machine heads with plastic ivory buttons. These ivory buttons have a 14:1 tuning ratio and are mounted on a historic sloped dovewing headstock. From the headstock through to the tail-piece, the overall design of this guitar is truly vintage-inspired, and an authentic replica of the original James Bay guitar.
No guitar would be complete without all the extras, which is why the James Bay Century Outfit also includes a 1960s style hard case, a custom strap, hand-signed photo and a certificate of authenticity. This Epiphone Ltd Ed James Bay Century also includes a manufacturer lifetime warranty.
