Epiphone EIEX8-CW Explorer 80s EMG Classic White

The Epiphone EIEX8-CW Explorer 80s EMG Classic White pays tribute to the powerful Explorer models that defined hard rock and metal during the 1980s. The Epiphone EIEX8-CW Explorer 80s EMG Classic White futuristic shape delivers a distinctive stage presence. Furthermore, the Classic White finish enhances its bold and streamlined appearance.
The mahogany body provides a strong tonal foundation with substantial character and sustain. Meanwhile, the iconic Explorer shape creates a striking visual identity. The design reflects the era when powerful guitars became closely associated with hard rock and metal.
The mahogany neck features a fast-playing 60s SlimTaper profile. Its glued-in construction provides a stable connection between the neck and body. Additionally, the 24.75-inch scale length delivers a familiar playing response for guitarists.
The rosewood fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets and simple pearloid dot inlays. Its 12-inch radius provides a comfortable surface for chords and bends. Furthermore, the Graph Tech nut supports reliable tuning stability during playing.
Active EMG pickups provide the guitar’s powerful tonal character. The EMG 60 sits in the neck position, while the EMG 81 occupies the bridge position. Together, these pickups deliver the fat tones and sustain associated with classic Explorer models.
The active pickups require a 9V battery to operate. However, the battery is not included with the guitar. The battery compartment sits on the back, providing quick and convenient access when replacement becomes necessary.
Two individual volume controls and a master tone control provide straightforward tonal adjustment. The three-way toggle switch also allows quick pickup selection. Meanwhile, knurled metal control knobs complement the guitar’s aggressive visual character.
The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge provides dependable string positioning and adjustment. A LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece anchors the strings securely. Mini die-cast tuners also support tuning stability. Finally, Epiphone includes a premium gig bag for convenient transport and storage.
