Historic mid 60s archtop featuring the new P-90 PRO™ single coil pickupEpiphone presents the Inspired by “1966” Century electric guitar, a faithful reissue of the classic thinline all-hollowbody archtop featuring the new Epiphone P-90 PRO™ single-coil pickup. The “1966” Century is available in both a Cherry and Vintage Sunburst Aged Gloss Finish.Historic Epiphone Century StoryIn Epiphone history, the “Century” name goes all the way back to the 1930s big band era, when the “House of Stathopoulo” was making some of the best archtops ever made. And when Epiphone merged with Gibson and moved its productions to Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1957, the Century was reborn as a popular thinline archtop, similar to a Casino or a “335” but with a slightly smaller body and a single P-90 pickup.PRODUCT FEATURESHistoric All-hollowbody Thinline ArchtopNew P-90 PRO™ single coil pickupAged Gloss FinishWilkinson® Vintage 3-in-a-row machine heads with plastic Ivory buttonsSPECIFICATIONSFinish Aged GlossHardware Aged NickelTop Laminated MapleBody Laminated MapleNeck MahoganyNeck Profile Rounded "C" shapePickup Epiphone P-90 PRO™Control Master Volume & Master ToneOutput Jack 1/4"Truss Rod Dual-ActionTruss Rod Cover Black PVC "Bullet"; 2-layer; Vintage "E" in WhiteNeck Joint Glued-InFingerboard RosewoodFingerboard Inly Pearloid "Dots"Headstock Historic Sloped Dovewing with gold "Epiphone" logoMachine Heads Wilkinson® Vintage 3-in-a-row with plastic Ivory buttons; 14:1 ratioFrets 20; MediumNut NylonNut Width 1.65" (42mm)Scale Length 25.5"Strings D'Addario; 11, 14, 19 (wound) 30, 41, 52Bridge Floating Adjustable; RosewoodTailpiece Historic Epiphone TrapezeBinding Body Top - 1-LayerBody Back – 1-LayerFingerboard – NoneHeadstock - None "F" holes - NonePickguard White PVC with foil "E"; 3-layer (White/Black/White)Color Finish
