Sorry guys, this is the only way I could slip this one in. My wife was at a estate sale and bought me a early 1951 Epiphone Zenith acoustic archtop guitar. I believe it is a pressed solid top, bottom of the line acoustic archtop at the time. After some serious cleaning and setting it up with new strings it plays and sounds great. It came with a Seymour Duncan custom shop Johnny Smith pick up with controls on the cracked pick guard. I pulled the pick guard and pick up off as I will probably play this one acoustally but I did try the DeArmond 1000 on it last night. It is a beast with a few top cracks, missing binding and plenty nicks and dings in the blond finish. I can't help but think that same guys that built this went on to build Guilds. for a $340.00 beater I finally got my first Epiphone.
Thanks john
