1953 Epiphone Triumph Regent

Serial # 65976. At 52 years old, this guitar has done a remarkable job ofdefying the aging process! It is in remarkable condition, with only theyellowing of the lacquer finish and white plastic parts to prove its age.The Triumph was one of the Epiphone company's most highly regardedinstruments since its introduction in '31, and redesign in 1937. The Regentmodel (or cutaway) was introduced in '49 and quickly became the guitar ofchoice for many of the best Jazz players of the era. This 1953 model wasbuilt when Epiphone had begun to employ a Gibson-style truss rod thatadjusts from the headstock end; making this instrument's neck easilyadjustable. The neck profile is comfortable and contemporary, with a nutwidth of 1-11/16". Scale of 25.5". Original nickel-plated hardware -E-logo tuners and Frequensator tailpiece; and a beautifully preservedoriginal pickguard. Frets are original and in near-new condition - which hasallowed us to set this guitar up with exceptional action. It is a loudguitar, with bark and cut, and projection that will make the folks at theback of the room pay full attention! A true investment-grade jazz box.With near-mint original hard shell case.
