Oops, this reply was meant to be attached to RTH's post, but somehow got attached to the wrong one. Sorry.
Anyway, to address your comment, you have a point about hollow body archtops, etc, but this guitar is not from the Epiphone that you know of today. This is a vintage guitar from 1967, just after Epiphone, an independent maker of excellent guitars, sold itself to Gibson. This is one of the last of the "true" Epiphones, not built as a low-end Gibson. Once Gibson acquired the company, and the rights to the guitar, they soon began producing it under their own name. However, Gibson turned it into a laminated guitar, still an excellent guitar and there are probably more pictures of HR playing the Gibson than the Epiphone, but yet not the solid wood, carved top excellence of the first Epiphone HR's.
