This very light guitar weighs in at just 7.00 lbs. even though it has a full-size solid mahogany body. The one-piece mahogany neck has a rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets and pearl dot inlays. Serial number ("254592") stamped in black on back of headstock. Six-in-a-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with white plastic oval buttons. The scale length is a standard Gibson 24 3/4 inches and the nut width is a just over 1 9/16 inches. Two Melody Maker single-coil pickups with a nice, balanced outputs of 7.23k and 7.22k. Single-layer white plastic pickguard with eight screws. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch and jack socket, all on pickguard. Black plastic ribbed-sided knobs with metal tops with red markings. The potentiometers are stamped "134 6440" (Centralab October 1964). Combination ridged "wrap-over" bridge. Epiphone Tremotone Vibrola tailpiece with rosewood insert with inlaid silver Epiphone "E." There are a few minuscule and insignificant marks or "dings" on the body but overall this is a superb near mint, unfaded, and totally original example of this extremely "rare bird". Housed in a later black hardhell case with gray plush lining (9.00). This is the only example we have ever seen!

According to a 1965 Epiphone price, list this guitar sold for $189.50.
