Clas Vardstedt Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, I live in Sweden and have an Epiphone Jazz guitar 12-string from 1914 in mint condition. I can't find any serial number. The guitar was made in Poland, but i want to know the specific Model name. The label says "Gitara Jazz typ III". How many guitars were made in Poland and why ? Where in Poland was the factory? How about the value today? Edited January 20, 2022 by Clas Vardstedt Imported an image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 It appears to be an Eastern European body, maybe a Delfil? Delfi? I think they were made in Poland. The neck appears to be an Asian Epiphone, Japanese, Korean. Someone put them together. Where did you get 1914? Epiphone wasn’t making guitars then, and I don’t think anyone on the planet was making F hole guitars then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clas Vardstedt Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 @ksdaddy Thanks for input and answers! You were 100% right about DEFIL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 The date is probably 1974. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorgle Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 That’s a 1970s Epiphone neck added to an earlier (but certainly not THAT early) non-Epiphone body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
