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.
