This 1943 Epiphone Zenith is in very good vintage condition. This instrument shows some signs of age and play wear throughout including some pick wear on the top (see photos), some finish checking, some small scratches and dings on the body. The pickguard is missing in action and the tuners are recent replacements, but otherwise this guitar is exceptionally clean and original. This Epiphone has a fantastic feeling medium chunky V shaped neck profile with a 1 11/16” nut width. The original frets are in great condition and have lots of life in them and this instrument has received a pro set up so it plays terrific up and down the fingerboard with low comfortable action.

This old archtop sounds exceptional and delivers a nice dry articulate cut with a woofy low end and crisp a top end with lots of volume. If you are looking for a great playing and sounding vintage archtop at a reasonable price, this Zenith will not disappoint! This guitar is housed in a modern hardshell case that fits like a glove and will ship out promptly and securely from our little shop here in Tennessee to your front door!
