Description
Beautiful Cherry Red Epiphone EA-250, one of the earliest guitars to come out of the Matsumoku plant, when Gibson transferred all Epiphone build out of the US to Japan in 1970. Looks-wise, this guitar's got it all. That beautiful Cherry Red body, contrasting perfectly with the natural maple neck, the 6-layer body top binding, the 3-layer fretboard binding, squat 60s style headstock, mother-of-pearl inlays, the Bigsby-esque tremolo, with carved wooden harp insert, and those uniquely sized humbuckers (something between a humbucker and a P-90), already retro-style by the early 70s. These guitars have a bit of a reputation for poor playability. But I've had the work done to restore that playability. Now, a lovely sounding thinline guitar. Those humbuckers have buckets of warmth and response - and sustain just the right side of feedback as you push the volume up. Has the dents and nicks you'd expect from a guitar that's nearly 50 years old, but plays and sounds great. Happy to include a support pack at no extra cost, with: - Hercules Mini Stand - Strap - Clip-on Tuner - Cleaning Cloth - Complimentary Plectrums. Happy to meet personally in London to hand over. And if this isn't the one for you, check out my other guitar, amp and pedal listings!
