1937 Epiphone Zenith

37 Zenith in VG+ condition.Plays and sounds like a million bucks.Replacement pickguard and pro refret...other than that seems to be all original.Newer HSC included.

 

[Flamencology]

Yes, please.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

A pre-Gibson Epiphone. I dunno, the association is too strong 80 years later.

 

[Denverdave]

Meh.....I tend to agree with HIAR on this one.

Only after playing it. I could never buy vintage online, because I don't think I could recognize issues online like experienced vintage enthusiasts can. I do think it could be an interesting guitar, even though I'm not fond to that pickguard.

DAMN THAT IS HOTTTTTTT

I am not really an archtop guy, but I love that.

So much for 'all headstocks are beautiful'.

The headstock shape is just fine.

 

[grover]

So hip its hep!

 

[jelloman]

Pretty, but not for me...

 

[Kerouac]

If I didn't have to make an offer on a house tomorrow I'd be sorely tempted to drive to Indiana and check it out.

 

[CBHScott]

That is sweet. Might if I had a few hundred thou in the bank.

Ooh! VERY cool! Zeniths (especially the pre-war models), IMO, are killer guitars! Can I have this?
