One of the first models introduced by Gibson under the Epiphone label was the E-251/2 Broadway, a 17" twin pickup cutaway produced between 1959 and 1969. After nearly three decades of being unavailable, the Broadway was reissued by Gibson's Epiphone division as a budget-friendly, Korean-made model, featuring an all-laminate maple body similar to the original. Eventually, the firm released the Elitist series, a limited run of premium instruments with solid spruce soundboards, ebony fingerboards, and other high-end features. This example remains in excellent condition and plays beautifully.OHSC included.
