1953 Epiphone Triumph Regent Sunburst, Good, Hard, $2,295.00
1953 Epiphone
Triumph Regent
a handcarved 17" cutaway archtop with a bookmatched solid spruce top and solid maple back; 5 pieceneck. Clear, open and forward, with great midrange, this guitar has the big chunky tone and bark for which Epis have been renowned.
The Tone says it all but these are the real deal. These old New York Masterbuilt Epiphones are serious musical instruments that throw the tone out like 20 feet and the tone becomes more orchestral and refined as it travels out from the guitar. These guitars were played by the most famous guitarists all over the world. I have heard Bucky Pizarelli say in our shop that some of the best guitars in the world were made by the Masterbuilt Epiphone company.
This one is has been fully restored, 2 top cracks cleated and refinished. Frets are in great shape with virtually no wear, and action is set at 4/64th at the 12th fret. Handwound Kent Armstrong floating humbucker with end pin input jack. Original tuners, replacement tailpiece and art deco replacement pickguard. A great value
