This beautiful guitar was made in 2004 at the famous Peerless Plant, Korea
Guitars from this factory are highly regarded, extremely well made and will
only increase in value.
Please do not mistake this for the new lesser quality Chinese models.
Built in 2004 this guitar's wood has 9 years of ageing, so it now has a sound
that literally cannot be replicated.
A real piece of quality....
...thin line hollow maple body with a cherry red finish, that looks absolutely
stunning against the chrome hardware and original white scratchplate, including
vintage gotoh style machine heads and a body binding that's taken on a lovely creamy
colour with age...
This is a gorgeous guitar!
Two Epiphone mini New-Yorker humbuckers
for authentic vintage tone, combined with the aged wood the guitar sounds really,
really beautiful.

Previously owned from new by a professional session musician, and only ever
used, very rarely, as a backup guitar, this guitar is in amazing condition and
is an absolute credit to it's one previous owner. It has always been kept in
it's hardcase, (which does show signs of wear). There is nothing that detracts
from the overall appearance of the guitar and definitely nothing that affects
it's playability. Everything works as it should and there is no noticeable
fretwear. Only item of any note is that at some point the metal "E" has
come off the scratchplate and has been glued back on.
The genuine Epiphone hard case, with the large gold "E" logo, is
included with the guitar and has one key.
You will not be disappointed with this guitar !!
