A beautiful Korean-made Epiphone Zephyr Blues Deluxe, built at the Peerless factory in 2004.

The Zephyr Blues Deluxe is a large discontinued hollow-body guitar featuring the distinctive three P-90 pickup configuration, with an individual volume control for each pickup and a master tone control. It is one of the more distinctive Korean Epiphone archtops of this period, with a design clearly inspired by classic American electric archtops, particularly the Gibson ES-5.

The guitar has just undergone a complete professional service by a luthier, including deep cleaning, polishing, a full setup and new strings. As part of the service, the bridge and tuning machines were replaced and are now fully functional and properly set up.

The guitar is fully functional and ready to play.

It shows normal signs of use and age, all clearly documented in the photographs. No attempt has been made to conceal cosmetic wear or present the instrument as being in better condition than it actually is. The small truss rod cover is missing from the headstock; this is purely cosmetic and is mentioned for complete transparency.

Overall, the guitar presents very well for its age, especially following the recent professional service.

This guitar comes from my father’s private collection. He is a lifelong guitarist and enthusiast who collected instruments over many years, and I am gradually selling part of his collection, which includes classical, acoustic, archtop and electric guitars from a variety of makers and periods.

Reasonable offers considered. No trades.
