Description Brand: Epiphone Body Material: Solid Wood Model: Strat Country/Region of Manufacture: Japan Body Type: Solid Body Color: Tobacco Burst String Configuration: 6 String Model Year: 1970s Dexterity: Right-Handed
Vintage Epiphone Strat style guitar. This is Japanese made and is a quality instrument. Body is solid wood (not sure of the species). This may be the rarest of the Japanese made Epiphones. I have been collecting guitars for quite some time and this is the only one I have seen. Some good honest play wear but in pretty good shape for its age. Scuffs, scratches, nicks and dings noted. A fair amount of dings on top. Some buckle rash on back. Very tight and short (about 1/4") finish cracks on either side of neck pocket. Some light guitar stand/play marks on back of neck. Medium fret wear. Plenty of meat on frets. Some light fretboard wear. Electronics have been tested and work. I believe the micro switch is a bass boost. Do not confuse this with the Korean Epiphones. This is Japanese made and of much higher quality. I believe this was made in the 1970s. Have additional photos that are available upon request. Weighs (as shown in photos) 8 pounds, 15.2 ounces. Includes generic hard case shown in 1st photo. Photos are part of the description so please view them carefully. Please ask any questions that you need to.
Shipping is for lower 48. Contact me for availability and shipping rates before you bid, offer or buy if you live elsewhere. This guitar is also for sale on another site. I reserve the right to end this listing at any time. Although very unlikely, it is possible that this item could sell on both sites before the second listing can be taken down. In that case, the earliest sale will prevail and the later sale will be cancelled.
