1966 Epiphone Casino 230-T in Royal Tan Sunburst
This gorgeous, wonderful vintage guitar is an absolute joy to play. It has a perfect neck, clean frets, very low action (.04" at the 12th fret), feels great against your body. and is resonant as hell--loud and boomy, even when unplugged. "Royal Tan Sunburst" Kalamazoo, Michigan factory finish with honey-brown figured back, perhaps its best feature is the fabulous "ambering" and crazing the finish and binding has developed from over 50 years of service. This guitar feels, sounds, and even smells like a vintage guitar should. Includes both an original 1966 Epiphone Tremotone vibrato tailpiece ($700 all on its own) and an original trapeze tailpiece. Even has the rare as hen's teeth "E" logo trussrod cover. Comes with a period Gretsch case which fits the guitar great. Only blemish is a small partial headstock neck repair from 1969 (so said the 2nd owner... I'm the 3rd). $3750
