This is an Epiphone Zephyr ( I think it was called the "Zephyr Blues Deluxe) essentially its Epiphones version of a Gibson ES-5.
Epiphone was making its best stuff in Korea at this point and these big body (25.5) guitars where the best thing they made as far as quality. I owned several of these and they were my main stage guitars for years. This one is upgraded from stock with 2 real Gibson P-100's front a back and a real vintage Bigsby Tremelo
it plays and sounds awesome with alot of versatility with the 3 pickups with individual volume controls then a master volume. The middle cheaper Korean made P100 has less output the the real Gibby's but the blend either with bridge or neck gives you a fantastic bump to either of there better pick up, or just roll with all three all the way open.
I am this guitars second owner. This was a studio guitar at Engine Studio's here in Chicago. Its been played on 100's of records recorded there during 1999-2012 period. The original owner was the guitar player in the band "The Verve Pipe"
I know there are a good amount of these guitars out there cheaper, but this is really well taken care of great, stage ready guitar.
Includes original hard shell case.
