eeh1 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 hello all. If I buy a jazz box, I would like to buy a 30's or early 40's epiphone emperor, blonde preferred but I would take a sunburst. gruhn had one and I asked 2 questions and someone else bought it, a non player I understand. "You snooze you lose" If anyone sees one or knows of one could you please let me know. I was also looking at a 30's or 40's epiphone deluxe if I can't find an emperor. I can't believe I did not buy it. It was a blonde 1943 Emperorat gruhns. Thank-you all. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionMark Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 One of the guitars in my stable of intruments is a 1936 Epiphone Zenith. The thing is awesome to play with an acoustic EQ unlike any current instruments. With it being made for big band or orchestral playing, if I play it at the Acoustic Music Jam that I run up in Chicago's northern suburbs, acoustic lead guitar work on it can easily cut through numerous flat top guitars or mandolins all playin' at the jam. A true acoustic archtop with sound just bouncing off the top of it. However, despite its great qualities and looks, realistically despite its great attributes I do find as a player it is a lot more limited as an instrument than a flat top top guitar. ie. While the Epiphone Zenith's acoustic archtop's mid-range EQ can awesome, cutting, and effectively loud...on the flip-side it really doesn't have the capability of an acoustic flat-top guitar's versalility which can reach the wider musical scope of upper, medium, and lower sound ranges, so it can be musically limiting at times.

brians356 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 eeh1, In case you don't check PMs, my neighbor has a '47 Zephyr Deluxe in VG condition that he will sell. He is an small-scale collector and amateur player and I have known him for 20 years. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
