Epiphone Acoustic Guitars - 1947 Blackstone Archtop


SOLD - Contact us for more options

This used Epiphone Blackstone is a nice, vintage archtop that, while well-worn, is incredibly playable and sounds fantastic. Overall in Very Good condition, it has seen better days cosmetically, lightly oversprayed with wear throughout, but it really sounds and plays great. Featuring a hand-carved Spruce top and figured Maple back and sides, it has a natural finish, cream binding, and pearloid parallelogram inlays. It has a one-piece Maple neck with a slim profile, and a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets. The scale length is 25 1/2" and the nut width is 1 11/16". A wonderful player through and through, this Epiphone Blackstone from 1947 hearkens to a simpler, bluesier time. Includes non-original hardshell case.
