This World War 2 Era 1942 Epiphone Broadway is a unique piece of musical history
The guitar features a hand-carved solid spruce top for clear sound and a multi-ply bound body crafted from solid hand-carved figured maple. The maple neck boasts a three-ply walnut-maple-walnut center stripe, topped with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard adorned with classic block mother-of-pearl inlays.
It's evident this guitar has seen its share of playing time, with some expected wear consistent with its age.
Restored for Playability
The neck has undergone a professional reset to ensure optimal playing comfort, while the original Epsilon logo 16:1 tuners have been meticulously reinstalled, preserving the instrument's vintage character.
This vintage Epiphone acoustic guitar is in Brisbane, Queensland.
