With Florentine Cutaway and Fishman Presys Preamp For almost 20 years, the Epiphone PR-5E has been on stages all over the world with countless musicians. Designed by Epiphone in 1990, its distinctive body shape was patterned after Epiphone's classic ES™ style guitars such as the Sheraton and Casino™. But instead of a double-cutaway, the PR-5E features a unique, single "Florentine" or sharp cutaway and a Fishman® Presys™ preamp. A battery is not included. To power your pickup, you will need a 9-volt battery.
