Akkadain Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 So I was at a flea market the other day, and I found this, listed as an early 1960's Epiphone. I've searched and searched, but I can't identify the model. It's definitely vintage in specs, the nut is 1 5/6. The bridge is really interesting too, it has a roller bridge but the rollers are made from bone, which I never seen/heard of before. Also, the bridge pickup is a DiMarzio, the original was another single coil like the neck has, installed at an angle. It has a gibson style 3-way toggle. The electronics were all old braided ground wires, so it's definitely an old guitar. Anyway, she was in rough shape, but I had to buy her anyway, just to get to the bottom of the mystery. Someone please help me I.D. this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an ET-270, someone replaced the bridge pickup with a humbucker. Some famous dead guy played one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
