The Epiphone Blues King Studio is part of the reimagined Epiphone Studio Acoustic Collection, delivering authentic vintage-inspired tone at an accessible price. Modeled after classic Gibson L-00 parlor acoustics, this small-body guitar blends old-school blues character with modern reliability. Its compact size and 24.75" scale length make it a comfortable choice for younger players, smaller-statured musicians, or anyone who loves the focused, intimate voice of a parlor guitar. From fingerstyle blues and folk to Americana and roots music, the Blues King Studio offers a warm, expressive sound that only gets better with age.

Built with a solid spruce top and layered mahogany back and sides, it produces a balanced, responsive tone with impressive dynamic range. The mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded C profile and is joined to the body with a glued-in tapered dovetail joint for enhanced resonance and sustain. Vintage-inspired details like the L-00-style tortoise pickguard, three-on-a-plate tuners with ivory buttons, and a 60s Kalamazoo-style headstock complete the timeless look.

Equipped with Fishman electronics, the Blues King Studio is ready for the stage. The Fishman S-Core under-saddle pickup pairs with a Presys VT preamp featuring discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls for clean, natural amplified tone without altering the guitar’s classic appearance.
