Thorogood Signature ES-125 with ProBucker P-90s
A cutaway ES-125 has been, and will always be, the heart of George
Thorogood’s thick, crunchy, low-down blues-rock guitar tone. The
limited-edition Epiphone George Thorogood White Fang looks to one of
George’s prized midcentury Gibsons for its visual and tonal inspiration.
The White Fang begins with George’s preferred ES-125 architecture — the
lightweight archtop hollow single-cut design with dog ear P-90 pickups —
and adds to them George’s artist touches: a (bad to the) bone-white
finish, ivory-buttoned Wilkinson Deluxe tuners, and a Thorogood cobra
decal that you can apply wherever you like. The White Fang’s custom
mahogany neck profile has George’s name written all over it — literally.
A headstock-back dark gold silkprint signature reminds you of this
guitar's rock ’n’ roll heritage every time you pick it up. Take it from
guitarists at Sweetwater: For blues slide to hard-edged rock crunch and
beyond, the Epiphone George Thorogood White Fang ES-125 delivers style
and tone in a way that other hollows, even those costing several times
more, can’t.
ProBucker P-90 pickups
True to their ProBucker name, the P-90s in the George Thorogood White
Fang look to the original Seth Lover design as their gold standard.
Alnico V magnets and period-correct pole shoes, magnet wire, and
tin-plated brass base plates equip these pickups for golden-era cleans
to overblown rock uproar. Each pickup’s independent volume and tone
controls come crowned with silver-insert gold top hat knobs, just like a
true ’50s original.
ES-125 hollowbody design
George’s love affair with the ES-125 stems back to his earliest
electric guitars. An acoustic player, George was drawn to the
“semi-electric” design. The 125’s arched top and resonance-enhancing
F-holes provided the perfect platform for his unique
thumb-and-fingerpicked style. It also sounded great broken up with a
slide — a feature that would be pivotal to his and the Destroyers’
full-band sound. George’s signature White Fang sees Gibson’s hollowbody
design rendered in laminated maple for a musically rich tone at great
savings to the consumer.
Includes case and hand-signed COA
The George Thorogood White Fang includes a custom-designed hardshell
case with faux-snakeskin handle and internal compartment, along with a
certificate of authenticity hand-signed by George himself and a static
cling cobra sticker. Both for the collector and the player, this
one-of-a-kind package is one you won’t want to miss out on.
