Up for sale is a beautiful Epiphone Emperor II hollowbody archtop electric guitar finished in a classic Natural gloss. This elegant jazz guitar features a fully hollow laminated maple body with attractive flame figuring on the back, producing the warm, rich tone that classic archtop guitars are known for.


The Emperor II is one of Epiphone’s most iconic jazz models, inspired by traditional full-size archtop guitars. It delivers a smooth, warm tone that works wonderfully for jazz, blues, swing, and classic rock.


The guitar is equipped with dual humbucker pickups, providing a full, warm sound with excellent clarity and articulation. The floating adjustable bridge and vintage-style Frequensator tailpiece add both visual elegance and excellent resonance.


The rosewood fingerboard with block inlays, elegant Epiphone headstock floral inlay, and gold hardware with Grover tuners complete the classic vintage look.


Serial number indicates production in 2006.
