Mini humbuckers produce standout tone

What's not to love about mini humbuckers? Players have loved them ever since their introduction decades ago. They have a tight, beefy tone that's well-behaved through clean amps. Once you kick on your dirt pedal and crank the gain, though, these humbuckers come alive with rip-roaring fury. The Uptown Kat has simple controls that help you customize your sound. There are individual volume knobs for each pickup with a master tone and master volume.

Semi-hollow construction blends hollowbody warmth and solidbody sustain

The Uptown Kat is a single-cut version of the classic ES series of guitars. It has a maple and poplar laminate body that produces a warm and resonant tone. The solid centerblock performs double duty by enabling long-lasting sustain and resisting feedback. Guitarists of all playing styles will appreciate how comfortable the body shape truly is. If you're gigging regularly and need a dependable axe with serious sustain, you owe it to yourself to give the Epiphone Uptown Kat a try.

Classy look and feel

The Epiphone Uptown Kat is a sleek and classy update on Epiphone's Wildkat. The vibrant metallic finish showcases your individuality and looks great in all lighting conditions. The gold hardware really pops against the finish for a nice touch of high-end sophistication. The body is completed by an eye-popping gold back and 5-ply binding. The bound fretboard has block inlays reminiscent of the classic ES guitars. Finally, the headstock is completed by a classic Epiphone logo plate.
