Epiphone S500 Black
Description
Description
This second hand electric guitar is in very good condition
circa 1986 - 1988
One scratch on the back of the body,
The Epiphone S-500, produced between 1986 and 1988, represents Epiphone's foray into the SuperStrat market of the 1980s. This model combined classic Stratocaster elements with features tailored for the era's hard rock and metal genres.
Build & Specifications
-
Body: Crafted from alder, the S-500 features a double-cutaway design reminiscent of the Stratocaster, providing both aesthetic appeal and ergonomic comfort.
-
Neck: The maple neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard, adorned with sharkfin inlays. With a 25.5" scale length and a 12" radius, the neck offers a balance between playability and string tension.
-
Pickups: Configured in an HSS (humbucker-single-single) layout, the S-500 delivers versatility in tone, accommodating a range of musical styles.
-
Hardware: Equipped with a Kahler Floyd Rose tremolo bridge and locking nut system, the guitar ensures tuning stability even with aggressive tremolo use.
Sound & Performance
The S-500's HSS pickup configuration allows for a diverse tonal palette. The bridge humbucker provides a robust output suitable for heavier genres, while the single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions offer clarity and brightness for cleaner tones. The five-way toggle switch, along with individual volume and tone controls, enables precise tonal shaping.
Players have noted the guitar's comfortable feel and responsive action. One user remarked, "Very comfortable standing or seated position, a more ballsy sound than a Fender and is every bit as well manufactured as a Fender also at a fraction of the cost right now."
The Epiphone S-500 stands as a testament to the brand's adaptability and innovation during the 1980s. Its combination of classic design elements with features tailored for the SuperStrat market makes it a noteworthy instrument for collectors and players alike. While it may not be as widely recognized as some contemporaries, the S-500 offers quality construction, versatile tones, and distinctive aesthetics that continue to appeal to guitar enthusiast
