Emppu Vuorinen Biography

Emppu Vuorinen is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on June 24, 1978 in Kitee, North Karelia, Finland. Musician and guitarist who was the founder member in the Finnish metal band symphonic Nightwish.

Nightwish songs usually refer to themes in the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Vuorinen used a Washburn N4 Nuno Bettencourt signature guitar for live performances with Nightwish from 1997–1999. Subsequently, he was most commonly seen with Washburn CS-780 guitars (a white one and metallic purple one). He mostly used the white CS-780 until the recording of Century Child when the band started tuning a whole tone lower than standard (DGCFAD instead of EADGBE). The documentary on the End of Innocence DVD shows Vuorinen using his purple CS-780 to track parts of the song “Slaying the Dreamer” (although he is also seen trying a white Tokai Les Paul copy on the same part of the song). After Century Child was released in 2002 he used both CS-780s live, with the white one in standard tuning and the purple one in D standard. The white CS had Duncan Designed pickups, and the purple CS had a zebra Seymour Duncan humbucker in the neck position (unknown model, but likely to be a Jazz since he now uses it on his signature guitars) and what appears to be (judging by the black hexagonal polepieces) a DiMarzio humbucker in the bridge position.

Emppu has used Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifiers regularly since 2002 and it is the amp most associated with him. However, he has used various amplifiers with Nightwish. He can be seen using a Laney VH100R head during the Summer of Wilderness tour in 1999, and the same amp was also present in the studio when Nightwish were recording Century Child. During that period he was also using a rack system. The system varies over the years and isn’t well documented, but some of the units that definitely appear in it are:

He has a twin brother as well as three sisters.
