This is the best Epiphone Offers and quite frankly perhaps the best sounding Jazz Box I have every played. I looked for years for the right guitar and landed this beauty. Unfortunately, a custom shop Telecaster came along and have to make some tough choices. I call this mint / excellent meaning I can't see or find any finish flaws, dents, dings or scratches. It has been lightly played so if there are any, I can't see them. Setup is beautiful, action med - low, and neck adjustment perfect (keep in mind shipping to any different area could require a fresh setup due to temp / humidity changes). The top, back and sides are stunning and nothing short of a work of art. Yes, I heard all the rumors that Epi quit the Elitist Broadway and Byrdland because they gave too much value vs. the 3x price Gibson and and some preferred the Epi's outright of their sister Gibsons. Don't know if the rumors are true but can understand why they may have started. Shipping is USA only and priority mail fully insured signature required. Guitar will leave here packed professionally and any shipping issues will be dealt with, with the insurance. I only ship priority so as to not leave any guitars out there too long and prefer not to ship over weekends. Any questions, ask away before bidding and thank you!Here is some copied and pasted info from other sites on this guitar....The Epiphone Broadway features the same body-style and dimensions as the Gibson L-5 and ES-350 (17" lower bout, 3 3/8" deep, 25 1/2" scale, 1 11/16" nut). The original Broadway was all laminated just like the ES-350. The L-5 is all carved wood. The Elitist Broadway is a bit of a modern hybrid with laminated back and sides but with a carved spruce top. The Elitist series is a limited run of premium instruments built with solid spruce soundboards, ebony fingerboards, real abalone and pearl Inlays, bone nuts and saddles, 24K gold hardware, hand-rubbed finishes, and crafted in the prestigious Terada factory of Japan.Classic big-box jazz guitar with incredibly luxurious appointments.A solid-spruce carved top on AAA flamed maple back and sides mean high-end tone to go with its high-end looks, which are provided by 24K gold-plated hardware, precision binding all around, ebony fretboard, inlaid bridge, and abalone/mother-of-pearl fretboard inlays.
