1965 Epiphone Olympic in Cherry finish with single P90 and Black pickguard.
Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1965 this gorgeous vintage guitar just oozes mojo. Beautifully aged with some lovely lacquer checking on both body and neck, it's super light weight, resonant and comfortable to play. It's a mostly all-original guitar with the distinctive 'batwing' headstock and a thin, resonant one piece mahogany body with asymmetrical cutaways and a one piece mahogany neck.
6 -in-a-row 'single-line' Kluson Deluxe replacement tuners with white plastic oval buttons. The scale length is a standard Gibson 24 3/4" and the nut width is 1 9/16".
The original Melody Maker single coil pickup has been swapped for a P90. Modern replica Epiphone black 3-ply pickguard with original control knobs.
Includes original (well worn) Epiphone case plus a generic hardshell case.
