JSG Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Here is a EO-2 I gleaned from the 'net some time back: The butterfly is OEM. What a great Forum! I just joined a day or so ago in an effort to learn more about my Epiphone Acoustic/Electric Model # EO-2EB Ser # Y111444 that I bought new in the early 90's from an authorized dealer. I've been searching all over the net looking for this guitar or anything similar without success. I was beginning to think it wasn't a real Epi because of the unique headstock design. Then, today, I just started reading threads in this forum and stumbled across the photo in this post. It is a pic of my exact guitar - Butterfly and all. The label indicates it was built in Korea. It is one of several guitars that I own, and although the tone is more than a little lacking in the lower end it has a great neck and action. I love playing it for the feel only. The "Epiphonic V" preamp did quit working recently. Any know how many of these were made? Its value? I think I paid 2 or 3 hundred for it new.Thanks in advance for any other info on this model.

TommyK Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Glad to be of service JSG. We're here to serve and protect. This place is like a wiki. Any information you can ad (pictures especially) is greatly appreciated. I only became aware of the model a year or so ago. Am I correct that the back of this guitar is vaulted (arched) and contains no back braces? Is the top flat? The image I nicked and modified has been seen elsewhere: Below are some early Gibson harp (arch) guitars sporting headstock of which the EO's bespeak. They also have the oval sound hole: Oh, and welcome. Don't be a stranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love the guitar and have always been curious about them as I've never seen another one. I'll post some pics as soon as I can. Oh, and this guitar has an arched top and back, not sure about the back brace. I'll check when I get home. Thanks again TommyK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
