Epiphone Byron Archtop Guitar with Semi Rigid Case - Commission Sale

Epiphone
£1,200.00

This Epiphone Byron from 1949 features a solid spruce top with back and side laminate mahogany. It's been previously owned and looked after by a professional luthier who kept this over-70-year-old archtop guitar in really nice condition for its age. It features a nice vintage sunburst finish beautifully contrasted with a thick cream binding. Set up with a very low action, this vintage-looking Byron plays superbly and offers a one-of-a-kind warm tone. It has the usual scratches at the back expected from an instrument of that age. On commission sale in very good condition and fitted with new strings.
