About This Listing

Hey now! You're looking at an amazing piece of Jazz history.

This is a 1943 Epiphone Broadway Sunburst Archtop Acoustic Guitar!

It weighs 5 lbs 7 oz. 25.5" scale, 1.74" nut width.

The Broadway has been in the Epiphone line since the 30s and has always been a favorite of Jazz players.

Featuring a maple archtop body, this guitar embodies the quintessential warm jazz sounds with the maple providing excellent note definition.

The mahogany neck creates awesome tone transfer.

Classic look bathed in a beautiful sunburst finish.

Some nice grains come through!

Everything is original except for the tuners, which were replaced at some point by Grover Imperials.

Multi-ply binding, block inlays, Frequensator tailpiece.

This Broadway is in great overall condition, especially considering its age.

Just setup- the neck is straight, and the frets are clean.

Some nice finish checking - just take a look through all the photos for a better visual description.

Made right here in NYC - this is your chance to get your hands on a piece of Epiphone history with this Broadway.

Thanks for looking!

Product Overview
The Epiphone Broadway originally had a Walnut body, but switched to Maple in 1939. This was one of Epiphone's original archtop models before being bought by Gibson. Specimens with a natural finish can fetch $200 - $300 more. 

Not to be confused with the Broadway Regent (with a cutaway) that debuted in 1950, or the later electric archtop model launched in 1958.
