1945 Epiphone Triumph C Archtop Jazz Guitar - $2,700 (Rowley)
QR Code Link to This Post
This guitar had a Florentine cutaway added decades ago which is incredible and gives it unrestricted playability up to the last fret! It has been refretted at some point and is in excellent + shape for an 80 year old guitar, with no cracks in or repairs to the solid hand-carved top or back (which is uncommon for archtops this old!) This guitar sounds SUBLIME, plays great with low action and is a straight up cannon acoustically. The floating Biltoft pickup sounds *great*and now out of production.
You simply won't find a guitar in this league without spending twice or three times as much.
The epitome of vintage tone with modern playability. Ready to be someone's workhorse!
Materials: Handcarved solid Adirondack spruce top; solid handcarved figured maple back and sides; five-piece maple/walnut neck; Brazilian rosewood fingerboard; diamond-pattern enamel fingerboard inlay and "fleur-de-lis" style peghead inlay; triple-bound body, bound fingerboard and headstock, original bone nut.
