Product Description

The Epiphone 50th Anniversary 1962 Crestwood Custom Electric Guitar is a unique instrument from Epiphone’s past that provides a historically correct Crestwood profile made from mahogany. The mahogany neck features a rosewood fingerboard with pearloid oval inlays, 22 medium jumbo frets, and a comfortable 1960s SlimTaper. The 1962 Crestwood Custom guitar is especially eye catching with a butterfly-shaped clear pickguard with a vintage style foil ‘E’.

The Epiphone Crestwood Custom also features Epiphone Alinco Classic mini-humbuckers along with Epiphone’s top-of-the-line electronics including TopHat controls with metal inserts. Tuning is easy and accurate thanks to Wilkinson vintage style tuners with tulip buttons and a 14:1 ratio. The Crestwood comes with Epiphone’s LockTone Tune-o-matic bridge and a Tremotone tremolo. The 1962 Crestwood Custom includes a period correct case and a 1962 Collection Certificate of Authenticity.

Original vintage Crestwoods are extremely rare and go for high dollars on the vintage market. If you can find one! This is a great opportunity to own one at an incredible price! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Epiphone products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This was my first Electric Guitar, Happy for the re-issue..."
Sound: The Neck Pickup Volume Control did not work so I worked it a few time and I guess it cleaned off and started working. Like the sound of the Mini Humbuckers, sharp biting sound.. Feature: Comes with a Certificate in a Hard Card Folder, Poster, Nut Wrench, Epiphone Bumper Sticker, Very Nice Dark Grey Case with Epiphone Logo and the Guitar. For the price I feel this is well worth it. Even though it is collector grade I plan on using. I had a 1962 Epiphone Crestwood Custom and this is really close to what the original is. The Tail Piece “E” Logo is raised, the original was flush. I could see this getting caught and come off in the future. Also on the Tail Piece the Tremolo has a Spring and the original didn’t. This could be a good revision as on the original the sheer pin is all that would hold and it used to break all the time. Last on the Tail Piece the Original did not have a Screw to hold down the tail piece but after the last pin break the tech drilled a hole in mine and put the screw in. This helped prevent further breaks Ease of Use: My main guitars are Gibson LP's but this is fun to play, brings back great memories. Plays great just how I remember the original. The neck is wide and flat, feels good in my hands. Weight is only around 6 pounds. Very light compared to today’s guitars like the Les Pauls. Feels like you’re playing a SG. Quality: I went through the guitar and the Quality was Excellent. Not a blemished anywhere. The finish was perfect.. Value: I was surprised on the cost. The Wilshire cost so much more...Glad this was at a cost most can afford..A great value. Manufacturer Support: As I mentioned above, An Epiphone was my first Electric Guitar, In fact it was a 1962 Crestwood Custom just like this reissue. The only problem I had was with the Tremolo Arm. Other than that the guitar was well made and will last a lifetime. Just wish I still had.. The Wow Factor: Looking at this guitar for the first time when I received, brought back a flood of great memories from my days playing in the 60's.. Overall: Super value, happy to own and a pleasure to play.
Style of Music: Blues and Classic Rock.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Superb quality re-issue"
Overall: I thank you so much. I had the Wilshire (same year) that I got from Henry at the old Manny's on 48th St. in '63. Always dreamed, hoped, and looked for something close. You passed it with this guitar. I don't know how it was possible to make this great a guitar and sell it so reasonably. Thanks again!!

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
