Epiphone Strat-Style Gloss Black w/ Select by EMG Pickup Upgrade - MIK - 1999 - Used

Epiphone Strat-Style – Gloss Black with Select by EMG Bridge Pickup Upgrade • Made in Korea • 1999 • Used

Looking for a classic 90s player’s guitar with genuine Korean craftsmanship and upgraded bridge bite? This 1999 Epiphone S-Series Strat-style guitar delivers incredible value, smooth double-cut playability, and versatile tone. Finished in Gloss Black, this instrument has been upgraded in the bridge position with a Select by EMG pickup, offering enhanced output, clarity, and crunch over the stock single-coil while keeping the classic neck and middle pickups for traditional Strat chime.

Condition is Very Good overall for a 25+ year old guitar. The body shows normal light cosmetic play wear, including surface scratches, minor dings, and natural age discoloration on the front pickguard that gives it an authentic vintage aesthetic. The original rear tremolo cavity backplate is missing, but the guitar remains fully functional, structurally sound, and ready to stage or studio.

Our technicians have thoroughly inspected the instrument, verified proper electronics operation, and completed a professional setup for smooth, comfortable action.
