There aren't too many guitars from the late 1940s that look as good as a high-end Epiphone archtop. With one glance at this beauty, we're pretty sure you'll agree. From its gold Frequensator tailpiece to its curvaceous multiple-bound celluloid pick guard, cloud fingerboard inlays, pearl fern headstock inlay and gold Epi tuners, this guitar just exudes coolness. Figured maple back and sides, spruce top, all laminate construction, five ply neck, highly figured multiple bound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, single Tone-Spectrum pickup with replaced low-profile pole pieces and Mastervoicer tone control. Large 17-3/8" wide body with multi-layer binding and unbound f-holes.

A completely original guitar, including its hardshell case. Neck and frets are in good shape and show less than average playwear. Exceptionally comfortable neck with a medium-deep, round carve and rolled edges, 25.5” scale and 1-11/16” nut width. First fret neck depth measures .924”, 9th fret depth is 1.040”. In excellent condition overall, with waist-sections of binding that have been expertly reseated and cleanly spliced at the guitar’s bottom. Excellent playability and recent in-shop set up and bridge fit, this guitar plays and sounds as good as it looks.
