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!

This Millman Dreadnought has a great sound! We played a duo show with this guitar combined with the Martin D-28 acoustic guitar and they sounded very lush together. Highly recommended!
