'What makes the Swingster “swing” is its electronics, coupled and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece with a custom arm ideal for serious floating action.
A roller bridge helps make its use and sound fluid, and helps keep the instrument in tune. Overall build quality of the Chinese-made Swingster
is impressive. It has no construction issues, and the binding is expertly crafted. Most striking is the finish work on the flame-maple laminate.
Playability is also impressive; the setup on our tester was comfortably low, and the wide neck had a slight roundness to the profile reminiscent
of classic archtops.The Swingster is an impressive offering for the money. Its playability is good, its vibrato is smooth, and it sounds great.
Epiphone knows its niche.'
