Super cool 1953 Epiphone Century archtop. Beautiful 50's Burst finish. Overall in really good shape for its age. Finish shows some age exhibiting checking throughout the body as well as some scratches, dings and some cracks in the binding (see photos). Neck is straight with great playability, but does have one slightly buzzy fret on the 7th fret on the low string. Setup with flatwounds. Pickups sounds fantastic. Ships with hardshell case.
