QuestionMark Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) That’s a beautiful vintage guitar! There is a great book about the original pte-Gibson owned Epiphone Company from which your guitar is from. Plenty of photos in it, too. It is called: Epiphone, The House of Stathopoulo by Jim Fischer & L. B. Fred it was published in 1996. Highly recommend you try to obtain it.

QuestionMark Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 ps. Based on the aforementioned book, your guitar’s serial number puts it as being made in 1939. QM aka “Jazzman” Jeff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thank you so much I will look into this. It my partners guitar and at only 30 years old, he is less than half the age of the guitar, he has owned it all his life. We understand its a beauty and are feeling it could be used an loved elsewhere rather than stuck in a case in the cupboard in our home as my partner is a reggae musician and it doesnt fit his sound. Its such a shame. Although he does have a little play on it now and then as it cant be helped :-) However also with a baby on the way and being pushed for cash we feel it better all round that we sell it on for someone else to love.
