Incredible 1950 Epiphone – Made in New York City

An extraordinary 1950 Epiphone, made in New York City. Unlike most guitars of this model from this era, which are often unplayable, this one is an absolute standout—with exceptional frets, intonation, and tone. Set up with low action, it offers effortless playability and an amazing soft V-neck.

Condition: Lots of natural paint checking and some scratches. A few tuners have been replaced with other vintage tuners, but everything functions perfectly. Expertly set up, plays like a dream.

Original Case Included – Well-worn but structurally solid, with working latches.

A true collector’s piece and a top-tier vintage player. 🎶
