Description

This 1953 Epiphone Zenith is a fine example of Epiphone’s mid-century archtop craftsmanship, featuring a carved spruce top with laminated maple back and sides. With its 16 3/8" lower bout, sunburst finish, and understated appointments, the Zenith delivers a warm, focused acoustic tone ideal for jazz and roots styles. Its comfortable neck profile and solid build quality make it a rewarding player, as well as a charming piece of vintage Epiphone history. This example features an added DeArmond pancake pickup for enhanced versatility. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes a non-original hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
