Epiphone's E-Series takes some classic rock guitar shapes and gives them a new twist, with unusual styling and finish alterations and the latest
electronics.
Five new electric guitars make up the E-Series: the LP Extreme and Evolution E-Series Hardbodies, along with three models that feature built-in effects - the Slasher, Demon and Beast E-Series Hardbody FX

black pearloid . This guitar has a select grade Indian Rosewood fingerboard,
"Super-Slide" satin finish, the new E-Series "Ultra Hot" covered humbucker pickups with

logo inlay on the fingerboard.
