The Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II in Natural is a professional‑grade hollow‑body jazz guitar designed in collaboration with legendary guitarist Joe Pass. It features a fully hollow laminated maple body with single‑cutaway Venetian styling and a set mahogany neck joined to a laurel fingerboard with 20 medium‑jumbo frets and dot inlays, built on a 24.75‑inch scale length. The finish in Natural showcases the figured maple grain, and multi‑ply binding on the body and headstock adds a classic aesthetic.

Electronics consist of two Epiphone ProBucker humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge positions, wired through individual volume and tone controls for each pickup along with a three‑way pickup selector switch. These pickups are voiced for smooth, warm, and articulate tones geared toward jazz, blues, and mellow clean styles but can also handle more driven tones when cranked.

Hardware includes a Floating Pau Ferro, Thumbwheel Adjustable height bridge paired with a "Vintage "Scroll" Trapeze tailpiece for stable tuning and sustain, plus die‑cast tuning machines. The fully hollow design and appointments reflect traditional jazz guitar construction while incorporating modern reliability and playability.
