Epiphone / 1951 DELUXE
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a legendary acoustic archtop guitar from the original New York period.
The "Deluxe" is the second most luxurious model after the "Emperor".
The body width is 17 3/8", which is a little smaller than the Emperor model,
This is a special model, which is made at 18 1/2 inches, the same width as "Emperor".
The catalog of 1953 shows that the size of this model is 18 1/2 inches, the same as "Emperor",
This is a very special piece, as it was made in the same size as "Emperor" (18 1/2").
The outstanding craftsmanship by New York craftsmen rivals that of Gibson in the history of archtop guitars.
The handmade body is made of blonde-colored spruce and beautiful figured maple.
The antique gold parts and the pickguard, which has been replaced with a gorgeous pearl pattern, give the Deluxe a classy visual appearance that is worthy of its name.
The fingerboard is made of carefully selected rosewood and beautiful mother-of-pearl inlays harmonize perfectly.
The Epsilon tuners, featuring the E logo mark on the head, are very maniacal high-end parts that were also used at the Kalamazoo factory after the acquisition by Gibson.
The sound is said to "produce a harp-like tone,
It has a shiny, shimmering brilliance and a deep, absorbing bass tone.
The sound is so convincing that it is like luxury made into sound.
A wonderful guitar that seems to embody the soul of the craftsman and the history of Archtop itself.
A unique and moving experience awaits you.
