The 1946 Epiphone De Luxe is a masterfully crafted acoustic archtop guitar from Epiphone's golden era, designed to rival Gibson's L-5. Featuring a 17 1/4" wide body with a carved spruce top and maple back and sides, it delivers a rich, resonant tone favored by jazz musicians. The guitar boasts elegant appointments, including pearl cloud inlays on the rosewood fingerboard, a vine-inlaid headstock, gold E-logo tuners, and a distinctive Frequensator tailpiece. Its comfortable neck profile and smooth playability make it a standout instrument for both collectors and players. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes the original hardshell case.
