Epiphone's Version of the Gibson ES-125… but with a Longer Scale Length

An unbelievably light guitar weighing just 5.20 lbs. Single-bound laminated maple top, back, and sides, mahogany neck with a medium profile, a nut width of 1 9/16 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 20 jumbo frets and pearl dot inlays. Gold silk-screen headstock logo. Closed-back Kluson Deluxe strip tuners with white oval plastic buttons. One hot black P-90 pickup with an output of 8.10k. Three-layer (white/black/white) plastic pickguard with silver and black Epiphone stylized "E" logo. Two controls (one volume, one tone) with gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. Rosewood bridge with pre-set compensating saddle and trapeze tailpiece with raised diamond on cross-bar. One tiny blemish on the top by the upper F-hole is the only thing that prevents this guitar from being mint. Housed in its original Epiphone black softshell case with red felt lining (8.50).

This guitar is very similar to the Gibson ES-125T BUT it has a 25 1/2 inch scale length as compared to the Gibson's 24 3/4 inches.

Epiphones from this era are highly sought after because they were made by Gibson. The only notable differences distinguishing the Century from the Gibson ES-125 are the Epiphone script and headstock shape and the pickguard being white with the Epiphone stylized "E" logo on it (pickguards on Gibsons of this era were typically black or tortoiseshell with no logo).
