New From Cousin Epiphone

[Red 333]

These look like they could be terrific:

 

New Epiphone Masterbilt Archtop Collection

 

Red 333

[Cougar]

For the Zenith Classic:

 

• Historic Epiphone Archtop Design with f-holes
• Solid Spruce Top with Longitudinal Bracing
• True Acoustic Sound with Sonic™ HD Preamp/NanoFlex™ HD pickup
• Ebony Fretboard
• Historic Tuners and Headstock Inlay Design

 

Wait a minute. Ebony fretboard? I thought there was no more ebony on the planet.

Wow. I'm not an archtop guy, but these look and sound great!

[QuestionMark]

I have a sunburst 1936 Epiphone Masterbuilt Zenith in my collection. A new era Zenith would be a nice counterpoint to it in my collection.

Any info on pricing? Looks nice.

The bracing looks symmetrical.

 

Can an Archtop expert tell me if I can convert this to lefty?

 

I am digging the Olympic in Honeyburst

Definitely not the expert but with lateral bracing it should be a 1,2 conversion. Nut, bridge.

I wished the De Luxe Classic headstock shape was period correct .... Or I would be all over it

[MissouriPicker]

Damn!....Like most of the people in here, all I need is another guitar. These are pretty cool. Guitars are like women. You can't have too many and there's always room for one more......Thanks for pouring fuel on the fire, Red...lol.....

That vintage sunburst De Luxe Classic has my attention..... I just have to reconcile internally about buying a guitar that cost $900 that's not made in the USA before pulling the trigger..... But the more I look at the image, I just might make this an exception... lol

I'm gassin on that one too. A coupla years ago I danced with Godin's 5th Avenue, but never pulled the trigger. I'm way more taken with this Dlx Classic. .
