The Epiphone Chris Stapleton Frontier Acoustic-Electric! Built in the USA & Available Now!
A Signature Acoustic for one of Country's biggest stars: the Epiphone Chris Stapleton Frontier!
This is something very special coming out of Bozeman, Montana! Available now at The Music Zoo, we have the Epiphone Chris Stapleton signature Frontier Acoustic-Electric. A signature instrument for the famed Country star, it takes all of the cosmetics of the classic Epiphone Frontier model and updates it with some great tonewoods and specs.
What does the Chris Stapleton Frontier have different about it than a standard Frontier?
The Frontier was built in Kalamazoo from 1957 until 1970 and it's been reissued recently in 2023 by the Gibson Bozeman facility as a production model, but what the Stapleton has different about it is the use of a thermally aged sitka spruce top instead of a non-aged spruce. The thermal aging removes excess moisture from the spruce top as well as gives it an “already played-in” vintage tone right out of the case – that will get better and better as you play it, but having a head start is quite nice. More features include AA-figured maple back and sides, mother of pearl slotted rectangle fretboard inlays, and Gotoh keystone tuners.
