Just in time to kick start his upcoming tour, George Thorogood happily received and demonstrated the new “Ltd. Ed. George Thorogood “White Fang” ES-125TDC Outfit” by Epiphone.
When his career was taking off, his favorite guitar was too flimsy and too delicate for his shredding, despite how much he loves the sound.
When Epiphone Guitars came around to offer him a guitar, George took it upon himself to make it his way. Same sound but from a studier body.
Epiphone, the leader in affordable professional instruments, proudly presents the Ltd. Ed. George Thorogood “White Fang” ES-125TDC Outfit, the premier signature guitar by blues legend GEORGE THOROGOOD. Featuring a vintage-inspired ES-125 hollowbody archtop in a Bone White finish with removable “Cobra” sticker, new ProBuckerTM P-90 single-coil pickups, a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity, Custom Hard Case with “snake-skin” handle, and WilkinsonTM Deluxe Tuners.
The ES-125 thin-line hollowbody was first introduced in 1956 as a student guitar, but in George Thorogood’s hands, his rare, late 50s two-pickup ES-125 was transformed into one of the most iconic instruments in American music. “My new Epiphones are like riding a thoroughbred horse--you have to hold them back,” explains THOROGOOD. “You should have more to work with not less. That’s when it gets fun. I used to struggle with my old guitars backstage. Now, I can’t wait to get to the gig. Thanks, Epiphone!”
Afterwards, George happily joked, posed for selfies, autographed, and played their guitars for good fun and classic memories.
