Body
Species
Each Worn 1966 Wilshire is crafted from solid mahogany.
Tonal Characteristics
The Worn 1966 Wilshire’s solid-mahogany body presents the classic voice of this time-tested tonewood. It blends outstanding warmth and richness with impressive clarity and note definition, all of which is translated brilliantly by its dual mini-humbucking pickups.
Design
The Worn 1966 Wilshire precisely follows the body lines and dimensions of the original 1966 Epiphone Wilshire, with smoothly rounded un-bound edges, deep double cutaways, and rounded, asymmetrical horns.
Finish
Color
The Worn 1966 Wilshires are available in your choice of Aged Cherry, Worn Cherry, or Worn Black finish.

Process
The Worn 1966 Wilshire is hand-finished in a durable urethane finish. The process is carefully monitored to retain a thin build up, which will refrain from choking the guitar’s natural resonance.
Surface Texture
The Worn 1966 Wilshire is hand finished in a coat of thin satin finish, to give the guitar a naturally aged look and feel.
