Epiphone Jim James ES-335 Electric Guitar (Incl. Hard Case)

Jim James — the vocalist, producer, primary songwriter, and guitarist for My Morning Jacket — has long impressed fans worldwide with his band and solo projects. He now has his very own Epiphone signature model that's based on one of his favorite Gibson guitars; featuring a rich-looking Seventies Walnut-finished 5-ply laminated Maple body with a solid Maple centreblock for increased sustain, and a Mahogany neck with a custom SlimTaper "C" profile.

The instrument is powered by a set of Epiphone's Alnico Classic Pro pickups, which come paired with high-quality CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. Personal touches include vintage-style Kluson Waffleback tuners with metal buttons, a circle/arrow emblem on the truss rod cover, and an owl decal on the back of the headstock. A hardshell case with an owl logo is also included.
