New Allen Woody Signature Bass from Epiphone

Epiphone incorporates the favorite bass guitar designs of the late Allen Woody, whose aggressive, rumbling style powered the Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule, into the new Allen Woody Signature model.

Woody, who passed away in August 2000, was an avid collector of vintage Epiphone basses, and his signature model has such classic features as a short scale (30 inches) for easier play, mini-humbucking pickups in the neck and middle position for a warm tone, rich Wine Red finish and gold-plated hardware.

The body of the Woody model is a semi-hollow single-cutaway archtop, similar to that of Epiphone's popular Kat series models but without f-holes.
