Acoustic Archtop Guitars
Maker: Epiphone
Year: 1959
Notes:
Gibson-Made.
Maker: Epiphone
Year: 1933
Notes:
If this guitar reminds you of David Rawlings famous Epi, there is a good reason: The first few Zeniths made, and there are only a few, are basically the same 13 5/8" guitar as David's Olympic, which was 13 5/8" through 1933 and then they all got bigger. The only difference that I can detect is, the Oympic has mahogony sides and back and the Zenith maple. They really appear as peas in a pod, or, as my partner opines: "as alike as an egg is to an egg". This one is completely original, it comes in the original hard case which is rather rare, which is in good shape but for a couple of hinges, but closes and works as is. These little jewels have a warm sound unlike most archtops one hears.
Maker: Gibson
Year: 1947
Notes:
Of all the L5C's and P's I've owned during lifetime love affair with L5s this is the cutaway I kept for myself.
Original, outstanding and stunning in every regard.
Maker: Gibson
Year: 1917
Notes:
16" Body with Pointed Cutaway,
Carved Scroll on upper bass bout.
small patch of finish touch-up on the back.
Maker: Gibson
Year: 1936
Notes:
This is the cleanest early Super 400 I have seen, the leather case is splendid, the plating on the engraved tuners and tailpiece is gorgeous. An amazing example from out of the closet. Early 1936 is the last of the desirable and rare small upper bout early model, this one has some features that suggest it was finished later: It is parallel, rather than 'X' braced and has the larger F holes of a 1937 model. In any case, a stunning and fabulous guitar.
