Epiphone Professional


Prospero

Recommended Posts

Anybody know anything about a weird guitar called the Epiphone Professional? It was from the '60's, looks like a really odd 335 with one pickup, a huge pickguard and way too many knobs and switches. I've gathered a little info from Google, but I'm curious if anyone has one, and what is the story behind these strange birds.

Those are the amp controls. It requires the matching amp to be fully functional. It is usable with other amps via the 1/4" jack on the top of the guitar (to utilize the matching amp requires a special cable plugged into the guitar's multi-pin jack). There is one volume and one tone knob and 5 tone switches (giving a lot of tone variations for a one pickup guitar), which work through the 1/4" jack. The other controls on the guitar control the reverb and tremolo on the original matching amp and are as follows: one on/off switch for the reverb and one for the tremolo, one rotary knob for controlling the amount of reverb, one for controlling the amount of tremolo and one for the speed of the tremolo. So essentially the guitar is fully functional without the matching amp, aside from the tremolo/reverb functions.
