Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Normally I never purchase anything on impulse. The Epiphone Wilshire was an exception; I absolutely love this guitar! It looks retro fantastic and plays very well. Sound-wise the pickups are okay, but what do you expect for $349? I'll probably replace mine over time with something that has a little more bite but for now I'm happy with them.
When I first got mine the action was set way too high for me. A couple of turns with a screwdriver on the bridge fixed that. Also, the strings on mine were apparently bottom of the barrel cheapies because they would not stay in tune. After about 3 days of putting up with this they had an appointment with the wire cutters! I put on a set of Ernie Balls and haven't had any problems since.
All in all this is a great guitar for the money and I highly recommend it.

Original Wilshire guitars are commanding high prices in today's collectors markets. Epiphone worked hard to bring it back in an affordable guitar that doesn't sacrifice quality, and now this limited edition electric guitar has been further updated with even more pro-features. The Epiphone Wilshire's double-cutaway mahogany body and set mahogany neck, which joins the body at the 22nd fret, give you the ultimate in upper-fret access. The Epiphone electric guitar is lightweight and comfortable, with excellent resonance and natural acoustic tone—even unplugged! Featuring Epiphone's LockTone Tune-O-Matic/stopbar combination, the transfer of string vibration is improved even more, giving this limited edition Epiphone Wilshire guitar excellent sustain and clarity. The neck pickup is Epiphone's Alnico Classic. It provides warm and subtle tone with a full, even response that doesn't hold back when you need that classic humbucker crunch. An Alnico Classic Plus is in the bridge, and is over wound for a slightly higher output—without sacrificing its rich, vintage tone. Both feature Alnico II magnets, enamel wire, and are double vacuum waxed. Each volume control on the Epiphone guitar is a push/pull potentiometer that allows you to coil-split each pickup separately for a more twangy single-coil sound, as well as many other tonal combinations. The Epiphone Wilshire electric guitar features their own "batwing" headstock. A classic design that improves tuning ease and accuracy by offering a straight string-pull design, the headstock is adorned like the original with the vintage Epiphone logo in gold. Other features include a 1960's SlimTaper neck profile with Rosewood fingerboard, premium 14:1 die-cast tuners, and individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.
