The Epiphone Blues King Studio left-handed acoustic-electric guitar revives the soulful sound and timeless style of vintage Gibson parlor models—at a price accessible to everyday players. Part of the all-new Studio Acoustic Collection, this compact powerhouse blends classic aesthetics with modern versatility. Its smaller L-00–inspired body and shorter 24.75" scale make it exceptionally comfortable for blues, folk and Americana styles, while the solid spruce top and layered mahogany body produce rich, balanced resonance with impressive projection. A Rounded C mahogany neck offers a familiar, inviting feel, and onboard Fishman electronics ensure your tone shines both onstage and in the studio. Outlined in single-ply cream binding and finished with pre-war-inspired details, the Blues King Studio delivers vintage character and modern playability in perfect harmony.
Solid Spruce and Layered Mahogany for Balanced Resonance
The Blues King Studio’s layered mahogany back and sides provide warm, woody overtones, while the solid spruce top adds brightness and articulation for a rich, full-range sound. Its parlor-style L-00 shape enhances midrange focus and projection, making it ideal for intimate performances or studio recording. The single-ply cream binding highlights the contours of its gloss-finished body, lending vintage sophistication that looks as classic as it sounds. Whether you’re digging into expressive blues lines or gentle fingerpicking passages, this combination of tonewoods offers the perfect blend of clarity, warmth and responsiveness that continues to open up as the guitar matures.
Comfortable Rounded C Mahogany Neck for Effortless Playability
Attached with a traditional glued-in dovetail joint, the Blues King Studio’s mahogany neck delivers both durability and exceptional resonance transfer. Its Rounded C profile sits comfortably in the hand, offering an ideal balance between substantial grip and smooth playability. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the tone while providing a naturally fast feel under the fingers. Nineteen frets and simple pearloid dot inlays give it an understated, vintage look. Combined with the shorter 24.75" scale length, this neck invites expressive bends and seamless chord transitions, making it a superb choice for both beginners and seasoned players seeking that intimate parlor touch.
Fishman Electronics Deliver Natural Acoustic Clarity
Equipped with a Fishman S-Core undersaddle pickup and Presys VT preamp, the Blues King Studio offers clear, authentic amplified tone that faithfully reproduces its natural acoustic character. The discreet, soundhole-mounted controls keep your top clean and uncluttered while allowing quick access to volume and tone adjustments. Whether you’re performing solo in a cafe, recording direct in the studio or plugging into a PA onstage, the Fishman system provides consistent, noise-free performance. Just add a 9V battery and you’re ready to capture every nuance of your playing with the warmth and balance that define Epiphone’s Studio Acoustic Collection.
Timeless Appointments Exude Vintage Charm
Every detail of the Blues King Studio pays homage to Gibson’s golden-era acoustics. The L-00-style dark tortoiseshell pickguard, nickel hardware and three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory-style buttons reflect the understated elegance of early-20th-century craftsmanship. Single-ply cream binding outlines the body’s curves with vintage character, while the gold-silkscreened Epiphone headstock logo proudly celebrates the brand’s storied heritage.
