Bookmatched solid carved spruce top; solid carved slab cut maple back and sides; solid 5  neck with walnut centerstripe; solid Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with diamond mother of pearl inlay; pearl column peghead inlay in stained holly headstock veneer, triple-bound body, bound fingerboard and headstock.

Nickel hardware includes Epiphone epsilon logo tuners, Non Original  Frequensator tailpiece, original string holders, adjustable working truss rod, adjustable compensated Brazilian rosewood bridge. Black older bakelite pick guard. This guitar has all of the  full chunky comping tone that you would expect from a vintage epiphone.  Three back cracks were fully cleated, and the back and sides of the guitar was refinished and the neck refretted. Partial crack along treble side tuners that was repaired. The refinishing was good, but the prep could have been better, although this guitar is structurally  sound, and everything works and sounds as it should. The tone on this one was not very adversely affected by the refinishing, but it lacks the full Epi tone   There frets are basically new, level, crowned and polished. Excellent playability and the great old chunky Epiphone Non Cutaway tone.Replica tailpiece  Beautiful replacement ebonite pick guard.   Non Original Hard case
