Well, received my new Wine Red Epiphone Emperor Swingster, VOX VT15 Modeling Amp, and Vox VT15 4-ch foot pedle

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! The tonal possibilities are endless. The guitar is a work of art; well built with no blemishes. The serial/parellel push/pull tone controls work well. Added to the abundance of the VOX VT15
flexibility (22 amp models, 22 songs, 11 effects, A/B switching w/4 banks available, anytimne reverb, tap stepping, etc.....Wowser!

I would recommend this equipment to anyone.

And my first time experience with Sweetwater was a breath of fresh air: professional, knowledgable, extremely quick to respond to all my questions.

Materials arrived per FedEx unscatherd and well packaged.

I will use Sweetwater again when ever I can.

The Swingster? You have GOT to try one out!!!!!

Headphones and hardcase come in a week or so :)

I do not own a Swingster. But I do own an Epiphone Emperor II, upon which the Swingster is based. Basically, the Swingster is a little more rock and rock, or country due to the metal bridge, slightly hotter pickups, and Bigsby vibrato.

The Emperor II is the Joe Pass model, and as such is more of a jazz or swing guitar.

I love my Emperor. It is a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. I hope you enjoy your guitar. Best of success learning and playing.
