Need help identifying a epiphone s series guitar


Mike1990

Recommended Posts

This s series that I'm looking at buying has a carved body which is more like a slanted version of a Strat/BASS/PRS. It has gold coloured covered HSH pickups, along with gold hardware. No scratchplate. 2 pots, 5 way selector switch and a swaller toggle switch. Bolt on neck with offset screws and no neck plate. Gibson Bell shaped white truss rod cover. Looks to be a rosewood fretboard. 24 frets. Trapezoid inlays. Standard 60s style Strat trem setup. A banana headstock but flicking upwards not down like all the S series I can find on Google images. 

I've tried to upload a picture. Not sure if it's worked. 

Many thanks in advance Mike

That's not an S-Series guitar it's an EM1 Rebel. They were made from the early to late 90s and were quite high quality. Alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Unusual switching system with pretty much any combination of humbucker/single coil tones. Quite a rarity to see one.
