Epiphone Vintage Triumph Regent Carved Archtop 1951

Product Description

1951 Epiphone Triumph Regent model sn#181185 —17 3/8″ Scale length: 25 1/2″ Nut Width: 1 11/16″, solid carved spruce top; solid carved slab cut maple back and sides; solid 5 piece cherry neck with walnut centerstripe; solid Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with diamond mother of pearl inlay; pearl column.  The Triumph Regent cutaway version of Epi’s most popular professional archtop, with great accessibility to the upper frets.  The Triumph Regent was introduced in 1949, and manufactured for only about six years. Accordingly the Regent is a much scarcer item than the non-cutaway Triumph, or its Gibson counterpart, the L-7C.
a handcarved 17″ cutaway archtop with a bookmatched solid spruce top and solid maple back; 5 pieceneck. Clear, open and forward, with great midrange, this guitar has the big chunky tone and bark for which Epis have been renowned.
The Tone says it all but these are the real deal. These old New York Masterbuilt Epiphones are serious musical instruments that throw the tone out like 20 feet and the tone becomes more orchestral and refined as it travels out from the guitar. These guitars were played by the most famous guitarists all over the world. I have heard Bucky Pizarelli say in our shop that some of the best guitars in the world were made by the Masterbuilt Epiphone company.
This one is all original (except for the tun-o matic) with the original Dearmond pickup attached to the top with volume and tone also attached to the top. Frets are in great shape with virtually no wear, and action is set at 4/64th at the 12th fret.
