FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-

-

-
Do you ship internationally?We ship to over 50 countries now.
-
Can I plug the Model One guitar into an amp if I want to?Yes. The sound you create on the guitar (including effects and tone) are also sent to the output jack. When a cord is inserted in the output jack, the guitar's internal speakers are muted. This feature also allows you to send your desired tone directly into a PA or workstation. ​
-
What does the TRRS jack do?The mini TRRS jack is ideal for feeding auxiliary audio (e.g. backing tracks) into the guitar's internal amp and speakers. This can be wired or wireless, as with a Bluetooth adapter. Level of playback is controlled by the output device (ie. cell phone). Perfect for live performances, jams, or practice.
-
Can you use headphones?There is a dedicated headphone jack that cuts off the speakers allowing complete privacy.
-
Are you making a left-handed Model One or a bass?Both are in development. Pre-orders for lefty Model One beginning in June 2023.
-
What pickups are you using?All of our guitars come standard with a set of ElectroPhonic ‘Vintage Spec’ AlNiCo V humbucker pickups. These pickups are designed to perfectly complement EP’s self-amplified electronics.
-
Do your guitars come with a warranty?Yes. One year warranty for all parts and labor. Normal wear or accidents are not covered.
-
Where is ElectroPhonic Innovations located?Our workshop/ showroom is in Inglewood, California. Our guitars are designed and manufactured right on site.

Does it come with a case?No. We offer gig bags custom designed for the particulars of all EP Guitars. Model One will fit in most standard LP-style gig bags available through Amazon, eBay, or your local music retail shop at many different price points. Model One dimensions: 41″ x 14″ x 2″.
-
What is the battery life and how long does it take to recharge?Battery life is dependent on many factors: playing style, how loud you play, etc. An average mix of moderate levels and some cranking can give you 12 hours or more. As far as charging is concerned, after the initial charge (which will be longer), you can generally expect about 4 to 6 hours to fully recharge.
-
Can I order Model One in a color other than the 4 standard colors (cream, red, black and blue)?Yes. Through our Custom Shop you can order any color. Fill out our Custom Shop Order Form or contact us at andy@epguitars.com to discuss your interests.
-
Can I specify different pickups?Model One is tuned to the hardware we provide. Changes are discouraged and will void your warranty. Custom Shop models are available in optional pickup configurations, including familiar brands/ models.
