Up for sale is a near-flawless, first-year production 1997 Epiphone "The Dot" semi-hollowbody guitar in a classic Natural finish.

This is a highly sought-after "Golden Era" Korean import, built at the legendary Samick factory in Incheon in October 1997 (Serial Number: S97104212).

It features the era-correct slim "D" maple neck profile and the vintage-accurate, vertical Gibson-style truss rod cover.

• Cosmetics: Excellent to near-mint condition. The natural blonde top, back, and sides are extremely clean with virtually no visible wear, major dings, or buckle rash.

• Neck/Frets: The neck is perfectly straight, and the action is low, fast, and incredibly comfortable. Frets are pristine with almost zero fret wear.

• Electronics: 100% original and fully functional. The original dual Alnico Classic humbuckers sound fantastic with zero scratchy pots or switch noise.

Specifications:

• Body: Laminated Maple top, back, and sides with a solid center block

• Neck: Set Maple neck (Slim Taper "D" profile)

• Fingerboard: Rosewood with dot inlays (12" radius, 22 frets)

OPTIONAL HARDSHELL CASE UPGRADE:

While this guitar will be meticulously packed, double-boxed, and fully insured for transit, I understand if you prefer the protection of a hard case. If you would like this guitar shipped inside a brand-new, premium plush-lined hardshell case, please send me a message before purchasing. I can source a brand-new case and adjust the listing price by an additional $110 to include it in your package.
