General Comments:
Basically a fancier Gibson ES-125tc or ES-125tdc models, but with better pickups and better hardware. The 1961/1962 models really rock because of the PAF mini-humbuckers. The 1959/1960 models don't sound as loud and powerful, but have a more jazzy and mellow tone. This model is a personal favorite of mine.

If you need to figure out the exact year of your Epiphone Whilshire guitar, use the Serial Number. See the Gibson Serial Number Info web page for help determining the exact year.
