Description

When first introduced in 1935 the Emperor was Epiphone’s response to Gibson’s Super 400 model, and was designed with an 18 ½”wide body - exactly ½” wider than it’s Gibson competitor. This 1960 model would have had it’s original New York made Epiphone pickup, unlike the subsequent models introduced in 1961 which used Gibson mini-humbuckers; however the previous owner of this guitar had the pickup and pickguard removed (the original pickguard is included). It is in excellent shape with no major repairs or damage to note, and feels and sounds incredible!

*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.
