【used】Epiphone / Imperial Series 1950s Zephyr Vintage Sunburst 1994 3.335kg #E940007【TONIQ横浜】

Epiphone is a guitar brand with a long history.

It is beloved by many professional artists, including Noel Gallagher, Paul McCartney, Thom Yorke, and Yosuke Shimonaka, who are known for using this brand.

This model is the Zephyr, an archtop model.

It is released from the Imperial Series, Epiphone's faithful re-creation of classic archtop guitars from the 1930s to the 1960s.

Manufacturing is handled by Fujigen, a long-established manufacturer Japan is proud of.

The body features a Spruce top, Flame Maple back, Mahogany neck, and Rosewood fingerboard.

It boasts a distinctive, luxurious look that sets it apart from other models, featuring a hollow body with F-holes, characteristic fingerboard inlays, multi-binding, and distinctive hardware unified in gold.

It is equipped with two NY-style mini humbucker pickups.

While offering the low noise characteristic of a humbucker design, it produces a brighter tone than a standard humbucker.

A hybrid instrument crafted by a renowned Japanese manufacturer, blending traditional archtop design with modern elements.
