A Wolfe in stealth clothing

The support guitar brands show rising playing talent is vital, and it also sends a message. Seeing Epiphone go from the endorsement of Emily Wolfe to a full signature model here is a statement that it not only believes in her obvious talents as an inspiring musician, but also that it’s open to the design input of contemporary players.

It’s worked with Lee Malia, Matt Heafy and Jared James Nichols before, and the two parties here have created a truly stunning looking Sheraton. We’ve long cast envious glances at the Gibson Memphis satin range of 339s and 335s, but this is a black aged gloss that lies somewhere in between, taking on the look of a well played nitro without any of the relic’ing. The idea of pairing it with gold hardware risks going too showy for a guitar billing itself as ‘stealth’, but the ‘lightly aged’ gold stays classy and consistent with the aged binding.
