Body size at lower bout: 15 1/2" Scale length: 25 1/2" Nut width: 1 11/16" Finish: Original sunburst finish, nitrocellulose lacquer type some cracking and flaking of the finish (but I see no cracks in the body)
Materials: Hand carved solid Adirondack spruce top; maple back and sides; one-piece mahogany neck; Brazilian rosewood fingerboard; pearl script peg head inlay, single-bound body, bone nut Hardware:  Tuners have been replaced by previous owner.   Notes: One of the original Epi archtop models, the Olympic was introduced in 1931, and remained in the catalog until 1949. Originally sporting a 13" mahogany body, the Olympic was upsized twice to it's final 15 1/2" body design. Unlike the Gibson archtops of comparable size, the Olympic and its other Epi cousins all had long scale necks and suspended fingerboards, thereby enhancing their formidable projection and bark. Like many, we'd assumed for years that these models would be fairly plentiful. However, after alt-country guitar hero David Rawlings adopted the Olympic as his all-purpose touring and recording guitar, we began getting requests for them that we just couldn't fill at any price. And when collectors began searching them out in earnest, it quickly became apparent just how seldom these rarities come to market.
From one of the leanest production years, this gleaming example has 100% original factory finish.The Brazilian rose wood fret board and the gentle light V neck profile sits easily in the palm. The guitar has the bark of a true 40's Epi, bright and forward with lots of punch. Info from Archtop Dot Com
 The action may be lowered or raised to your requirements with the adjustable bridge. I have played this some through a vintage Fender tube amp and it sounds great. Needs new set of strings.
