Description

From 1943, and only made for a total of four years, we have and incredibly rare Epiphone Ritz in its original Natural finish. This short-lived Epiphone model was only produced from 1940-1944, making it one of the more rare Epiphone guitars available. This is a fantastic sounding archtop and would make an excellent addition to any growing Epiphone or archtop collection.

This guitar is in excellent shape for its age and comes with its 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.
