The Epiphone Wilshire is a solid body electric guitar made between 1959 and 1970 by Epiphone before being reissued between 1982 and 1985.

The Wilshire fetaures a double cut body and two pickups (either Epiphone's Mini Humbucker pickups or two soapbar P90 pickups) with a Rosewood fretboard. The most known colour scheme it came in was the cherry red body with a white pickguard and a black head.

This guitar was used by Morgan at the start of The 2nd Law tours, and was used as a rhytm guitar for Madness, before being replaced by a custom-built Manson Guitar, which Manson built for Morgan, and is based around the Epiphone Wilshire.
