1951 Epiphone Century Archtop
This was a beautiful natural blond 1953 Epiphone Century Archtop. It was made in the Epiphone plant in Queens, NY - the same place where Les Paul created "The Log" in 1940, which was his crowning contribution to inventing the electric guitar as we know it.
This guitar was in fantastic condition and just an absolute joy to play. I was set up with 12s and plays beautifully. It had great low action, and a fantastic neck. It was a joy to play, and the big body gave it super mojo to play. The pickup on the guitar is what is called a New York Pickup. It's the pickups they used in the Queens plant for these pre-Gibson electric archtops. It's a single coil pickup wound sideways. It has a unique sound - an even and subtle sound. Many say it is the pre-cursor to the P90 - but I need to learn more about what is meant by that. This guitar had a rosewood fretboard and headstock. It had a trapeze tailpiece and octagonal volume and tone controls with peaked facets. It was just a great look.
All the electronics work well, our luthier cleaned the pots and dated them to the late 40s. All original and working wonderfully well.
