Built for Raw, Energetic Rock ’n’ Roll

If your idea of a good time is churning out raw, energetic rock ’n’ roll for a roomful of sweat-soaked fans, the Epiphone Coronet was crafted with you in mind. This guitar is patterned after a pre-1963, Kalamazoo-built Coronet, with a symmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body, a set mahogany neck, and a red-hot PRO P-90 Dogear pickup. The Coronet’s stripped-down, no-nonsense design and a snarling, full-throttled tone are tailor-made for bashing out power chords, and its vintage-tinged style is a guaranteed showstopper. Epiphone rounded out the Coronet with high-quality CTS pots, a rock-solid Lightning Bar tailpiece, a reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock, and an eye-grabbing Epiphone Bikini badge.

Iconic tone from a PRO P-90 single-coil pickup

The PRO P-90 single-coil pickup in the Coronet is designed with many of the features of the original P-90 pickup created by Seth Lover in the '50s. It’s a sensitive pickup that responds amazingly well to the nuances of your picking. Dig in and it will growl with a vocal-like quality. Played cleanly, the sound is rich and sparkling. If you love the articulation of single-coil pickups, but want a bit more girth to your tone, the PRO P-90 pickup is the perfect choice. The Coronet includes volume and tone controls with high-quality CTS potentiometers to ensure the best sound possible.

Cozy playability from a set, medium "C"-shaped neck

The Epiphone Coronet offers the perfect combination of an old-school, hand-filling medium "C"-shaped neck and a modern-feeling 12-inch-radius Indian laurel fingerboard. We’ve found this electric guitar to be a rhythm player’s delight. Whether you’re banging out a punk progression or whipping out tight chord stabs, the Coronet will feel like an extension of your body. And while this isn’t the most shred-friendly axe on the planet, the Coronet’s double-cut solidbody makes accessing all of its 22 medium-jumbo frets effortless. To top it off, this vintage-style guitar’s set neck construction enables it to sustain with no end.

Head-turning looks from period-correct aesthetics

Strapping on the Coronet will make you look like the coolest guitarist on your scene. This idiosyncratic, head-turning axe starts with an early-model, symmetrical double-cutaway shape (the Coronet sported an asymmetrical shape from 1963 on), but it doesn’t stop there. Its distinctively shaped pickguard is emblazoned with an eye-catching stylized “E” logo, and its reduced-size Kalamazoo headstock is adorned with an impossible-to-ignore Epiphone Bikini badge. Period-correct top hat knobs and ivory tuning buttons complete this guitar’s killer look.
