Description

Meet the Epiphone ES-125 White Fang, a semi-hollowbody electric guitar that channels the essence of blues legend George Thorogood's iconic sound. This limited-edition beauty is inspired by Thorogood’s cherished 1950s Gibson ES-125, making it a must-have for any serious guitarist or collector. Its ProBucker P-90 pickups, crafted to Seth Lover's original specs, promise everything from silky cleans to hearty rock growls, while the laminated maple body with cream binding provides a visually striking and sonically rich experience.

Designed for versatility, the White Fang's archtop construction and F-holes enhance resonance, making it perfect for fingerpicking or slide work. The custom Thorogood-profile mahogany neck, adorned with a pau ferro fingerboard and classic dot inlays, ensures a comfortable and authentic playing experience. Complete with Wilkinson Deluxe tuners and ivory buttons, this guitar stays true to its vintage roots.

Each White Fang comes with a custom-designed hardshell case, a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity, and a fun touch—a Thorogood cobra decal. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, this guitar offers a timeless blend of style and performance that’s as bold as its namesake.

George Thorogood: why I love my Epiphone White Fang ES-125 | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

George Thorogood's Epiphone White Fang ES-125 impresses with its distinct tone and upgraded P-90 PRO pickups, making it a favorite for live performances and studio recordings. While the original model's pickups lacked power, the new configuration balances tone and volume effectively. The striking design, complete with a removable cobra sticker, adds a unique flair. However, Thorogood humorously notes the unintended permanence of the sticker, which some might find off-putting. Overall, the White Fang captures the essence of classic rock and blues, making it a solid choice for musicians looking for both style and sound.
