These all-maple archtops have a dry, woody acoustic voice and a clear, punchy amplified sound that works equally well for jazz and blues. The blonde finish is far less common than the standard sunburst and really shows off the figuring in the maple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eCondition is very good overall. The guitar shows honest play wear throughout, including light scratches, dings and finish wear consistent with a 70-year-old instrument. The most noticeable cosmetic issue is a scratch\/gouge on the bass-side rim, shown in the photos. Aside from that, it's a clean, well-preserved example that has clearly been played and enjoyed rather than abused. A great playing vintage Epiphone with plenty of character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eComes with non-original hardshell case. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"1039\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"127\" data-end=\"706\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lzryok\" data-start=\"127\" data-end=\"139\"\u003eYear: 1954\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"14ajt5r\" data-start=\"140\" data-end=\"165\"\u003eModel: Epiphone Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16g12ke\" data-start=\"166\" data-end=\"189\"\u003eOrigin: New York, USA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"prtrdp\" data-start=\"214\" data-end=\"232\"\u003eBody Width: 16⅜\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1hlxe6g\" data-start=\"233\" data-end=\"258\"\u003eBody Depth: Approx. 3⅜\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1liyifz\" data-start=\"259\" data-end=\"281\"\u003eTop: Laminated maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ix1x3l\" data-start=\"282\" data-end=\"313\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides: Laminated maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"s7ooej\" data-start=\"314\" data-end=\"330\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1qk9akh\" data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"354\"\u003eFingerboard: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1r8pwoe\" data-start=\"355\" data-end=\"375\"\u003eScale Length: 25½\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"v1kgay\" data-start=\"376\" data-end=\"405\"\u003eNut Width: Approx. 1 11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1d4kjs6\" data-start=\"406\" data-end=\"417\"\u003eFrets: 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1oer0cc\" data-start=\"418\" data-end=\"439\"\u003eInlays: Dot markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"c9822a\" data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"488\"\u003ePickup: Original Epiphone New York single-coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"85qmc2\" data-start=\"489\" data-end=\"513\"\u003eControls: Volume, Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"5eenx9\" data-start=\"514\" data-end=\"550\"\u003eBridge: Rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"137t7t2\" data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"590\"\u003eTailpiece: Original trapeze tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"146e1mg\" data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"640\"\u003eTuners: Original tuners with white buttons\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1nig5x\" data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"706\"\u003eCase: Non-original (Guild) case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mak's Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57214165909879,"sku":"67813","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/8035\/2813\/files\/1954EpiphoneCenturyArchtop.1.jpg?v=1782235051","url":"https:\/\/www.maksguitars.co.uk\/products\/1954-epiphone-century-archtop-blonde-pre-owned","provider":"Mak's Guitars ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
