Description

A very affordable, true vintage archtop that's fun to play & produces a warm, rich tone. Professionally set up & ready to play upon arrival.

Cosmetic Condition: Cool vintage vibe with good honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches, weather checking & some mild finish wear. The two piece top opened up a little bit down the center seam, between the bridge & the tailpiece. But it's not too bad & the guitar still plays quite well. Overall it's got a great look to it with lots of charm & a beautiful patina.

Neck: Soft V-shaped mahogany neck with cream side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Kluson Deluxe tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 5/8" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.

Body: Double-bound archtop with dual F-holes. Solid spruce top in sunburst finish. Nickel trapeze tailpiece with floating rosewood bridge. Pickguard is missing. Maple back & sides with some light flame figuring in the rims. 16 1/2" lower bout width; 11" upper bout width; 3 1/2" depth. There are no electronics & the guitar weighs 5 lbs 0.4 oz.

Case: 1970's Epiphone hardshell case included.
